[issue11707] Create C version of functools.cmp_to_key()

[Raymond Hettinger]

Georg, do you care to opine on whether this should go into 3.2.1?  (I don't have any preference).

There is a big thread on comp.lang.python where a number of people seem to be very concerned about the efficiency of cmp_to_key().  OTOH, we almost never backport performance patches unless the speed is so slow as to be unusable.
