David Naylor aa8d62b950 Update lang/pypy-devel to 2.2 (for wider testing).
Changes:
 * Strip cffi libraries

Outstanding items:
 * Fix virtualenv bug (ports/183795)
 * Update memory and compiler times (Makefile, wiki)

ChangeLog:
 * Our Garbage Collector is now "incremental". It should avoid almost all
   pauses due to a major collection taking place. Previously, it would pause
   the program (rarely) to walk all live objects, which could take
   arbitrarily long if your process is using a whole lot of RAM. Now the
   same work is done in steps. This should make PyPy more responsive, e.g.
   in games. There are still other pauses, from the GC and the JIT, but
   they should be on the order of 5 milliseconds each.
 * The JIT counters for hot code were never reset, which meant that a
   process running for long enough would eventually JIT-compile more and
   more rarely executed code. Not only is it useless to compile such code,
   but as more compiled code means more memory used, this gives the
   impression of a memory leak. This has been tentatively fixed by
   decreasing the counters from time to time.
 * NumPy has been split: now PyPy only contains the core module, called
   _numpypy. The numpy module itself has been moved to
   https://bitbucket.org/pypy/numpy and numpypy disappeared. You need to
   install NumPy separately with a virtualenv: pip install
   git+https://bitbucket.org/pypy/numpy.git; or directly: git clone
    https://bitbucket.org/pypy/numpy.git; cd numpy; pypy setup.py install.
 * non-inlined calls have less overhead
 * Things that use sys.set_trace are now JITted (like coverage)
 * JSON decoding is now very fast (JSON encoding was already very fast)
 * various buffer copying methods experience speedups (like list-of-ints to
   int[] buffer from cffi)
 * We finally wrote (hopefully) all the missing os.xxx() functions,
   including os.startfile() on Windows and a handful of rare ones on Posix.
 * numpy has a rudimentary C API that cooperates with cpyext
