New submission from Ryan Kelly <r...@rfk.id.au>:

Both file.truncate() and StringIO.truncate() accept an optional "size" 
parameter to truncate the file to a specific size.  SpooledTemporaryFile should 
accept a similar parameter and pass it on.

The only tricky part is that truncate can potentially increase the size of a 
file, so it needs to check the max size and rollover if appropriate.

Patch is against py3k branch; should work on trunk modulo the use of b"xxx" in 
the tests.
