Add checking for a number of metaclass error conditions.
We add some new rules that are required for preserving internal invariants of types. 1. If type (or a subclass of type) appears in bases, it must appear before any non-type bases. If a non-type base (like a regular new-style class) occurred first, it could trick type into allocating the new class an __dict__ which must be impossible. 2. There are several checks that are made of bases when creating a type. Those checks are now repeated when assigning to __bases__. We also add the restriction that assignment to __bases__ may not change the metaclass of the type. Add new tests for these cases and for a few other oddball errors that were no previously tested. Remove a crasher test that was fixed. Also some internal refactoring: Extract the code to find the most derived metaclass of a type and its bases. It is now needed in two places. Rewrite the TypeError checks in test_descr to use doctest. The tests now clearly show what exception they expect to see.
