Goodbye Python 3.2. You will be missed.

Resolves #786.

I know it's hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this
happen. It's all part of the process of exploration and discovery. It's
all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizons. The future
doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. Python 3.2
was pulling us into the future, and we'll continue to follow it.

Dropping 3.2 before 2.6?

Sure, usage supports dropping 3.2 but 2.6 still has significant # of users.

@aaugustin Yup. As @dstufft says, this is fundamentally for empirical reasons: the usage of Python 2.6 is substantially higher than the usage of Python 3.2. Given that urllib3 helps underpin pip and requests, which are both required for doing secure client-side HTTP on a Python platform that is incapable of doing it (Python 2.6), we currently still have a duty to our users to support that platform.

I remember a time when 3.2 was actually the least awful of the 3.x releases. So long 3.2.
