SF patch #103158 by Greg Ball: Don't do unsafe arithmetic in xrange

object.

This fixes potential overflows in xrange()'s internal calculations on
64-bit platforms.  The fix is complicated because the sq_length slot
function can only return an int; we want to support
xrange(sys.maxint), which is a 64-bit quantity on most 64-bit
platforms (except Win64).  The solution is hacky but the best
possible: when the range is that long, we can use it in a for loop but
we can't ask for its length (nor can we actually iterate beyond
2**31-1, because the sq_item slot function has the same restrictions
on its arguments.  Fixing those restrictions is a project for another
day...
