Merge pull request #1341 from takluyver/i1317

Don't attempt to tokenize binary files for tracebacks.

Previously we had been trying and just catching the exception, but in corner cases the tokenizer can run for several seconds before raising an exception (#1317). This skips tokenizing if the file has the extension .so, .pyd or .dll.

Closes gh-1317.
