Issue #4910 (1st patch of a series): fix int() and the corresponding

PyNumber_Int/PyNumber_Long API function so that it no longer attempts
to call the __long__ method for conversion.  Only the __int__ and __trunc__
methods are used.  (This removes a major remaining use of the nb_long
slot from the Python 3.x core.)

Thanks Benjamin for review.
