[Twisted-Python] Python 2.2 Support

Should we drop Python 2.2 support in Subversion head for Twisted 2.2?

- Debian stable now comes with Python 2.3
- Twisted 2.1 has been released with Python 2.2 support

Dropping Python 2.2 support has some good consequences:
- We get to delete code
- An entire class of bugs gets eliminated
- Disc space can be freed on the muon buildslave

Some bad consequences:
- People wanting to run Twisted 2.2 (or svn) on ancient versions of
Python won't be able to.
