wrapfunction: use functools.partial if possible

Summary

Every extensions.bind call inserts a frame in traceback:

... in closure
  return func(*(args + a), **kw)

which makes traceback noisy.

The Python stdlib has a functools.partial which is backed by C code and
does not pollute traceback. However it does not support instancemethod and
sets args attribute which could be problematic for alias handling.

This patch makes wrapfunction use functools.partial if we are wrapping a
function directly exported by a module (so it's impossible to be a class or
instance method), and special handles wrapfunction results so alias
handling code could handle args just fine.

As an example, hg rebase -s . -d . --traceback got 6 lines removed in my
setup:

 File "hg/mercurial/dispatch.py", line 898, in _dispatch
   cmdpats, cmdoptions)
-File "hg/mercurial/extensions.py", line 333, in closure
-  return func(*(args + a), **kw)
 File "hg/hgext/journal.py", line 84, in runcommand
   return orig(lui, repo, cmd, fullargs, *args)
-File "hg/mercurial/extensions.py", line 333, in closure

   result = orig(lui, repo, cmd, fullargs, *args)

   ret = _runcommand(ui, options, cmd, d)
-File "hg/mercurial/extensions.py", line 333, in closure
-  return func(*(args + a), **kw)

Nice.

This patch makes test-py3-commands.t fail. I suspect it's because py3 has no "im_self".

Fixed. It's tricker than I thought - Python 3 does not have "unbound function" concept and there is no easy way to detect "unbound function". Python 3 descriptor protocol seems to treat function and partial differently. So I changed approach to check ismodule instead, which seems to be more conservative and correct.
