Fix of SF bug #475877 (Mutable subtype instances are hashable).
Rather than tweaking the inheritance of type object slots (which turns out to be too messy to try), this fix adds a __hash__ to the list and dict types (the only mutable types I'm aware of) that explicitly raises an error. This has the advantage that list.__hash__([]) also raises an error (previously, this would invoke object.__hash__([]), returning the argument's address); ditto for dict.__hash__. The disadvantage for this fix is that 3rd party mutable types aren't automatically fixed. This should be added to the rules for creating subclassable extension types: if you don't want your object to be hashable, add a tp_hash function that raises an exception. Also, it's possible that I've forgotten about other mutable types for which this should be done.
