Restore dicts' tp_compare slot, and change dict_richcompare to say it
doesn't know how to do LE, LT, GE, GT. dict_richcompare can't do the latter any faster than dict_compare can. More importantly, for cmp(dict1, dict2), Python *first* tries rich compares with EQ, LT, and GT one at a time, even if the tp_compare slot is defined, and dict_richcompare called dict_compare for the latter two because it couldn't do them itself. The result was a lot of wasted calls to dict_compare. Now dict_richcompare gives up at once the times Python calls it with LT and GT from try_rich_to_3way_compare(), and dict_compare is called only once (when Python gets around to trying the tp_compare slot). Continued mystery: despite that this cut the number of calls to dict_compare approximately in half in test_mutants.py, the latter still runs amazingly slowly. Running under the debugger doesn't show excessive activity in the dict comparison code anymore, so I'm guessing the culprit is somewhere else -- but where? Perhaps in the element (key/value) comparison code? We clearly spend a lot of time figuring out how to compare things.
