Fix for SF bug #485678.
slot_tp_descr_set(): When deleting an attribute described by a
descriptor implemented in Python, the descriptor's __del__ method is
called by the slot_tp_descr_set dispatch function. This is bogus --
__del__ already has a different meaning. Renaming this use of __del__
is renamed to __delete__.
