Patch #1538606, Patch to fix __index__() clipping.
I modified this patch some by fixing style, some error checking, and adding XXX comments. This patch requires review and some changes are to be expected. I'm checking in now to get the greatest possible review and establish a baseline for moving forward. I don't want this to hold up release if possible.

+- Patch #1538606, Fix __index__() clipping. There were some problems
+ discovered with the API and how integers that didn't fit into Py_ssize_t
+ were handled. This patch attempts to provide enough alternatives
+ to effectively use __index__.

- Bug #1536021: __hash__ may now return long int; the final hash
value is obtained by invoking hash on the long int.
