- Added API docs for ``pyramid.httpexceptions.abort`` and

  ``pyramid.httpexceptions.redirect``.

- Added "HTTP Exceptions" section to Views narrative chapter including a
  description of ``pyramid.httpexceptions.abort``; adjusted redirect section
  to note ``pyramid.httpexceptions.redirect``.

- A default exception view for the context ``webob.exc.HTTPException`` (aka
  ``pyramid.httpexceptions.HTTPException``) is now registered by default.
  This means that an instance of any exception class imported from
  ``pyramid.httpexceptions`` (such as ``HTTPFound``) can now be raised from
  within view code; when raised, this exception view will render the
  exception to a response.

- New functions named ``pyramid.httpexceptions.abort`` and
  ``pyramid.httpexceptions.redirect`` perform the equivalent of their Pylons
  brethren when an HTTP exception handler is registered.  These functions
  take advantage of the newly registered exception view for
  ``webob.exc.HTTPException``.

- The Configurator now accepts an additional keyword argument named
  ``httpexception_view``.  By default, this argument is populated with a
  default exception view function that will be used when an HTTP exception is
  raised.  When ``None`` is passed for this value, an exception view for HTTP
  exceptions will not be registered.  Passing ``None`` returns the behavior
  of raising an HTTP exception to that of Pyramid 1.0 (the exception will
  propagate to middleware and to the WSGI server).
