*README.txt add example/test for writing a 3D polygon

*shapefile.py (Writer.__shpRecords) fixed inconsistency between Reader and Writer
when referencing "z" and "m" values. This bug caused errors only when editing
3D shapefiles.

*shapefile.py (Writer.poly()) fixed a bug that resulted in incorrect part indexes
*README.txt updated several errors in the documentation.

*shapefile.py (Reader.shapes(),Reader.iterShapes()) Updated to verify the file length by
seeking to the end. A user reported shapefiles in the wild which had incorrect .shp file
lengths reported in the header which crashed when reading or iterating shapes. Most
insist on using the .shx file but there's no real reason to do so.

*shapefile.py (_Shape.__geo_interface__) Added Python __geo_interface__ convention
to export shapefiles as GeoJSON.

*shapefile.py (Reader.__init__) Used is_string() method to detect filenames passed
as unicode strings.

*shapefile.py (Reader.iterShapes) Added iterShapes() method to iterate through
geometry records for parsing large files efficiently.

*shapefile.py (Reader.iterRecords) Added iterRecords() method to iterate through
dbf records efficiently in large files.

*shapefile.py (Reader.shape) Modified shape() method to use iterShapes() if shx
file is not available.

*shapefile.py (main) Added __version__ attribute.

*shapefile.py (Writer.record) Fixed bug which prevents writing the number 0 to
dbf fields.

*shapefile.py (Reader.__shape) Updated to calculate and seek the start of the next record. The
shapefile spec does not require the content of a geometry record to be as long as the content
length defined in the header. The result is you can delete features without modifying the
record header allowing for empty space in records.

*shapefile.py (Writer.poly) Added enforcement of closed polygons

*shapefile.py (Writer.save) Added unique file name generator to use if no file names are passed
to a writer instance when saving (ex. w.save()). The unique file name is returned as a string.

*README.txt (main) Added tests for iterShapes(), iterRecords(), __geo_interface__()

*README.txt (main) Updated "bbox" property documentation to match Esri specification.
