[issue8733] list type and UserList do not call super in __init__ and therefore, they cannot be parents in a multiple inheritence scheme

Example:

class A(object):
 def __init__(self):
  print "initializing something very important"
  # and then pay it forward...
  super(A, self).__init__()

class B(list, A): pass

b = B()
# A's init is never called...
