[Bf-python] getting the Active Object?

[Campbell Barton]

Object.GetSelected()[0] is almost always the active object.
But this is not Always true, Since the active object dosent Have to Be 
Selected to ba active.

I suggest an Object.GetActive(object) and Object.SetActive(object) to be 
added to the Object module allone with Object.GetSelected()
