Description
This ticket fixes a Python 3 doctest failure in smallest_poly() in sage.rings.polynomial.binary_form_reduce.
In Python 3, the result of the function differs due to tiny floating point inaccuracies. I checked that the value that is minimized inside the function is the same in Python 2 and 3 (up to small tolerance), so apparently the result of the computation is not unique. In order to stay consistent between Python versions, I replaced the doctest by a test that checks the properties of the result instead of the result itself.
What I am not sure about: Does smallest_poly() return the polynomial for which get_bound_poly() attains its minimum? If so, perhaps this could be clarified in the documentation.

This looks fine to me. The deletions all seem to be unused items that were missed when the original code was checked in.
