[issue16160] subclassing types.SimpleNamespace does not work

[Eric Snow]

Eric Snow added the comment:

Here's a patch that fixes subclass support.  It was supposed to work in the first place.  Guess I had tunnel vision at the time.

The fix is essentially a copy of the code in dict_new() in Objects/dictobject.c.  I left out the part about releasing GC if the type is not a subclass.

Note: see #15022, #15004, and #15003 for other things SimpleNamespace is missing.  I can get those done if it would be meaningful to you.
