Add Garbage Collection support to new-style classes (not yet to their
instances). Also added GC support to various auxiliary types: super, property, descriptors, wrappers, dictproxy. (Only type objects have a tp_clear field; the other types are.) One change was necessary to the GC infrastructure. We have statically allocated type objects that don't have a GC header (and can't easily be given one) and heap-allocated type objects that do have a GC header. Giving these different metatypes would be really ugly: I tried, and I had to modify pickle.py, cPickle.c, copy.py, add a new invent a new name for the new metatype and make it a built-in, change affected tests... In short, a mess. So instead, we add a new type slot tp_is_gc, which is a simple Boolean function that determines whether a particular instance has GC headers or not. This slot is only relevant for types that have the (new) GC flag bit set. If the tp_is_gc slot is NULL (by far the most common case), all instances of the type are deemed to have GC headers. This slot is called by the PyObject_IS_GC() macro (which is only used twice, both times in gcmodule.c). I also changed the extern declarations for a bunch of GC-related functions (_PyObject_GC_Del etc.): these always exist but objimpl.h only declared them when WITH_CYCLE_GC was defined, but I needed to be able to reference them without #ifdefs. (When WITH_CYCLE_GC is not defined, they do the same as their non-GC counterparts anyway.)
