Fix purepython builtin type strings

close #2314

Speed up cpdef method override checks also for Python subclasses with slots by assuming that slot attributes themselves never override type fields in the parent class (Python raises an error if you try).
See #2313.

This does not help for classes with "__slots__", nor does it help for alternating calls to different objects.
There is probably still space for improvements, e.g. by using an array of object dict versions.
See #2313.

Using __new__ was made an error 8 years ago, keeping this in the docs just causes confusion at this point (e.g. #2311).
