+- Issue #1721812: Binary set operations and copy() returned the input type

+ subclasses would be created without their __init__() method being called.
+ The corrected behavior brings sets into line with lists and dicts.

- Issue #4296: Fix PyObject_RichCompareBool so that "x in [x]" evaluates to
True, even when x doesn't compare equal to itself. This was a regression
from 2.6.
