Summary: -q (quiet) option for python interpreter

Initial Comment:

Implementation of feature request 1728488

Added interpreter option:

-q Do not print the version and copyright messages. These messages are also suppressed in non-interactive mode.


BTW: Above the usage_* strings in main.c there is a comment:
/* Long usage message, split into parts < 512 bytes */
Why do we have this limit? (actually one of the strings was ~570 bytes).

I'd expect the 512 bytes limit was due to some compiler restrictions.
Whether these compilers are still in operation, I don't know.
