Fix Python 3 issues in REST code. * Need to use .get not .getheader for HTTP headers (see hg commit fec18298ae02, "Python 3 preparation: HTTP headers handling in roundup_server.py."). * Need to use key not cmp with sort (see hg commit 3fa026621f69, "Python 3 preparation: comparisons."). * dispatch output must be bytes, not str, otherwise writing it to the socket (e.g. in roundup-server) will fail. This fixes issues shown up attempting to access the REST interface with a browser with Python 3 (as opposed to with the Roundup testsuite, which also has known REST issues with Python 3).

Debugging Aids
--------------

Try turning on logging of DEBUG level messages. This may be done a number
of ways, depending on what it is you're testing:

1. If you're testing the database unit tests, then set the environment
   variable ``LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG``. This may be done like so:

    LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG python run_tests.py

   This variable replaces the older HYPERDBDEBUG environment var.

2. If you're testing a particular tracker, then set the logging level in
   your tracker's ``config.ini``.

SENDMAILDEBUG
=============

Set to a filename and roundup will write each email message
that it sends to that file instead to the internet. 
This environment variable is independent of the python -O flag.
