monkeypatch.replace() now only accepts a string. Improved error handling and

docs thanks to suggestions from flub, pelme, schmir, ronny.

Changes between 2.3.5 and 2.4.DEV
-----------------------------------
- new monkeypatch.replace() to allow for more direct patching::
- new monkeypatch.replace() to avoid imports and provide a shorter
invocation for patching out classes/functions from modules:
monkeypatch.replace(os.path.abspath, lambda x: "mocked")
monkeypatch.replace("requests.get", myfunc
instead of: monkeypatch.setattr(os.path, "abspath", lambda x: "mocked")
You can also avoid imports by specifying a python path string::
monkeypatch.replace("requests.get", ...)
will replace the "get" function of the "requests" module with ``myfunc``.
- fix issue322: tearDownClass is not run if setUpClass failed. Thanks
Mathieu Agopian for the initial fix. Also make all of pytest/nose finalizer

This function can usually derive monkeypatch locations
for function, method or class targets. It also accepts
a string which is taken as a python path which is then
tried to be imported. For example the target "os.path.abspath"
will lead to a call to setattr(os.path, "abspath", value)
without the need to import "os.path" yourself.
For example ``replace("os.path.abspath", value)`` will
trigger an ``import os.path`` and a subsequent
setattr(os.path, "abspath", value). Or to prevent
the requests library from performing requests you can call
``replace("requests.sessions.Session.request", None)``
which will lead to an import of ``requests.sessions`` and a call
to ``setattr(requests.sessions.Session, "request", None)``.

example: preventing "requests" from remote operations
------------------------------------------------------
If you want to prevent the "requests" library from performing http
requests in all your tests, you can do::
# content of conftest.py
import pytest
@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
def no_requests(monkeypatch):
monkeypatch.replace("requests.session.Session.request", None)
This autouse fixture will be executed for all test functions and it
will replace the method ``request.session.Session.request`` with the
value None so that any attempts to create http requests will fail.
