_Py_PrintReferenceAddresses(): also print the type name. In real use
I'm finding some pretty baffling output, like reprs consisting entirely
of three left parens. At least this will let us know what type the object
is (it's not str -- there's no quote character in the repr).
New tool combinerefs.py, to combine the two output blocks produced via
PYTHONDUMPREFS.
