[issue10889] Fix range slicing and indexing to handle lengths > sys.maxsize

Having started work on this, the code changes are probably too significant to consider adding it to 3.2 at this late stage.

Writing my own slice interpretation support which avoids the ssize_t limit is an interesting exercise :)
