Change type_get_doc (the get function for __doc__) to look in tp_dict
more often, and if it finds a descriptor in tp_dict, to call it (with
a NULL instance).  This means you can add a __doc__ descriptor to a

and class docs when called on a class -- or the same docs in either
case, but lazily computed.

I'll also check this into the 2.2 maintenance branch.

Avoid adding Python wrappers around the underlying C profiler if possible;
the extra layer of calls can lead to confusion in interpreting the logs.

PyNumber_InPlaceMultiply insisted on calling sq_inplace_repeat if it
existed, even if nb_inplace_multiply also existed and the arguments
weren't right for sq_inplace_repeat.  Change this to only use
sq_inplace_repeat if nb_inplace_multiply isn't defined.
