Summary: Get rid of etype struct

Initial Comment:
The 'etype' struct in typeobject.c prevents people like
David Abrahams and Christian Tismer from defining
C-level metatypes that add slots to the end of the type
structure. It should be possible for type_new() to
place the additional structures after an offset
determined by tp_basicsize of the metatype, rather than
at a fixed offset.
