When instantiating a class with no arguments and where the class does
not define __getinitargs__, bypass the __init__ constructor completely. This uses the trick of instantiating an empty dummy class and then changing inst.__class__ to the real class. This is done in two places: once for the INST and once for the OBJ format code. Also replaced the much outdated long doc string with a short summary of the module; the information of that doc string is already incorporated in the library reference manual.
