Summary: built-in method .__cmp__

Initial Comment:
Bound methods of built-in objects have a strange
__cmp__/__hash__ combination: they compare equal only
if their __self__ are identical, but they hash based
on the hash of __self__ instead of its
_Py_HashPointer().

Built-in methods should consistently be based on the
identity *or* the equality of __self__.  For reference,
regular instance methods are based on the equality.  So
I propose to fix built-in method objects in the same
way.
