This patch fixes the classes int, long, float and
unicode so that type conversion methods (i.e. __int__,
__long__, __float__, __unicode__) are used for type
conversion in subclasses of int/long/float/unicode.
(See the following thread on python-dev for more info:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-January/051175.html)

It also fixes the bug reported by Nick Coghlan here:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-January/051196.html.

For int/long/float converting the instance of the
subclasses to the base class has been moved from
PyNumber_(Int|Long|Float) to the apropriate slot
nb_int, nb_long, nb_float of int/long/float.

OK, BDFL pronounced on this saying the semantic change was fine.  I will 
have a look at the patch when I can and get it in.  Won't touch 2.4 since it 
is a semantic change, though.
