HistoricalStorageAdapter forwards release() to its instance

[skip ci]

Fixes #78.

Also adjust the base wrapper's __getattr__ to be faster (500 vs 711ns
in a benchmark of the common case) and behave the same on Python 2 vs
Python 3 with regards to exceptions, should a method be implemented as
an descriptor. In practice this probably makes no difference
whatsoever, it's just the same pattern used for forwarding
release.

Add support for 3.6, drop 3.3

Remove outdated comment.

Remove redundant usedevelop.

We need a newer setuptools on older versions of Python to be able to install recent Sphinx because of its use of environment markers.

Also add note on supported versions to the docs and readme.
Fixes #168.

Update tox.ini to correctly run testdocumentation and DRY with test deps.

* clean up references to DBs and Connections in pools
* Implement an explicit clear() method for clearing all the items in the pool.

* Make all classes new-style.

On PyPy, it's documented (http://pypy.org/performance.html#id3) that
old-style classes are slow, and classes that derive from both old and
new are especially slow. I checked with the PyPy devs on IRC today and
they confirmed that's still true with the latest PyPy2 releases.

Unfortunately, FileStorage was one such mixed class, as was Connection.

Moving to new-style classes seems to have a positive impact in the
benchmarks. Here's zodbshootout on PyPy2 5.7.1 against a
FileStorage (running in --threads and with 5 reps to be sure we get
warmed up). First, current ZODB:

"Transaction",                fs
"Add 1000 Objects",            31,738
"Update 1000 Objects",         42,444
"Read 1000 Cold Objects",      51,894
"Read 1000 Hot Objects",       53,187
"Read 1000 Steamin' Objects", 835,877

And with this PR:

"Transaction",                fs
"Add 1000 Objects",             35,651
"Update 1000 Objects",          54,906
"Read 1000 Cold Objects",      103,484
"Read 1000 Hot Objects",        84,721
"Read 1000 Steamin' Objects", 2,112,095

The tests that hit the storage extensively are notably faster, as are
steamin and hot, Connection having been a mixed class.

I ran all tests multiple times. The data files were removed between
runs. There's some variation, but the new-style classes always seem
better.

For comparison, here's CPython 2.7.13:

"Transaction",                fs
"Add 1000 Objects",            19,531
"Update 1000 Objects",         16,201
"Read 1000 Cold Objects",      22,111
"Read 1000 Hot Objects",       21,851
"Read 1000 Steamin' Objects", 880,582

Locally I've run the tests under 2.7 and they all passed.

Profiling (https://github.com/zodb/zodbshootout/pull/32/) showed that
this method was the only blob-related method that showed up in a test
of creating blobs, other than those that actually performed IO.

With this change its total and cumulative time drops from 0.003/0.004
to 0.001/0.002 in a small benchmark. Blobs created per second shows a
small but consistent improvement.

Fixes #158.

And emacs backups. :) Because of the way zest.releaser works, this
isn't strictly necessary, but it makes the manifest checker shut up.

* Fixed: A blob misfeature set blob permissions so that blobs and blob
  directories were only readable by the database process owner, rather
  than honoring user-controlled permissions (e.g. umask).

Tests running and passing on windows.
