Third step: unix-only modules. Really remove the function this time.

Second step: keep tp_getattr functions when they are complex,
but use PyObject_GenericGetAttr() as a fallback.

These were the last occurrences of Py_FindMethod.

  Re-enable tests, they were failing since gc.collect() clears the various freelists.
  They still remain fragile.

  For example, a call to assertEqual currently does not make any allocation
  (which surprised me at first).
  But this can change when gc.collect also deletes the numerous "zombie frames"
  attached to each function.

(classobject.[ch] aren't empty yet because they also define PyMethod.)
This breaks lots of stuff, notably cPickle. But it's a step in the right
direction. I'll clean it up later.
(Also a few unrelated changes, e.g. T_NONE to define a "struct member"
that is always None, and simplification of __hash__ -- these are unfinished.)

In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast().  Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.

I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc.  Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes.  The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].

One cast was required as a result of the changes:  A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.
