popped a MARK, but without stack emulation the disassembler couldn't
know that, and subsequent indentation got hosed.

Now the disassembler does do enough stack emulation to catch this.  While
I was at it, also added lots of sanity checks for other stack operations,
and correct use of the memo.  This goes (I think) a long way toward being
a "pickle verifier" now too.

Add some testing for this.

Also add support for setting the 'fast' flag on the Python Pickler class,
which suppresses use of the memo.

object.__reduce__, do a getattr() on the class so we can explicitly
test for it.  The reduce()-calling code becomes a bit more regular as
a result.

Also add support slots: if an object has slots, the default state is
(dict, slots) where dict is the __dict__ or None, and slots is a dict
mapping slot names to slot values.  We do a best-effort approach to
find slot names, assuming the __slots__ fields of classes aren't
modified after class definition time to misrepresent the actual list
of slots defined by a class.

and also create a symlink "python" pointing to "python$(VERSION)".

The tests for this are much simpler now (no __getstate__ or

Check return value of PyLong_AsDouble(), it can return an error.
