Fail on python3 versions before 3.3, and add docs.
Updates `README.md` and `docs/index.rst` with a note about supported versions. (Also drops a really stale note about dependencies.)

+Supported Python Versions
+-------------------------
+
+We support Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3+. (Whatever this file says, the truth is
+always represented by our `tox.ini`_).
+
+.. _tox.ini: https://github.com/google/oauth2client/blob/master/tox.ini
+
+We explicitly decided to support Python 3 beginning with version
+3.3. Reasons for this include:
+
+* Encouraging use of newest versions of Python 3
+* Following the lead of prominent `open-source projects`_
+* Unicode literal support which
+ allows for a cleaner codebase that works in both Python 2 and Python 3
+
