[issue8639] Allow callable objects in inspect.getfullargspec

[Nick Coghlan]

This API has changed around a bit in 3.x, so it is actually inspect.getfullargspec that needs to change (getargspec will inherit the new behaviour though, since it uses getfullargspec internally)

With appropriate docs and tests updates, I don't see a problem with adding the feature, though. Docs should note and tests should ensure that this only goes one level deep - if __call__ isn't a real function either, inspect shouldn't try to follow the descriptor chain down the rabbit hole. Anything else runs the risk of infinite recursion in the face of things like "inspect.getargspec(list)".
