The pure-Python Persistent class no longer calls subclass's __setattr__ at instance creation time, just like the C version.

KeyError would be raised during ZODB serialization; catch that. Not sure if this is the best solution or not but it gets zope.container passing.

If the python version of Persistent had __setstate__ called with a dictionary containing exactly two items, it would fail at idict.update(inst_dict) with 'ValueError: sequence of pairs expected' due to incorrect tuple unpacking. Do what the C version does and check for a tuple explicitly.
