save(): Fix for SF bug #494904: Cannot pickle a class with a

metaclass, reported by Dan Parisien.

Objects that are instances of custom metaclasses, i.e. whose ob_type
is a subclass of PyType_Type, should be pickled the same as new-style
classes (objects whose ob_type is PyType_Type).  This can't be done
through the existing dispatch switches, and the __reduce__ trick
doesn't work for these, since it finds the unbound __reduce__ for
instances of the class (inherited from PyBaseObject_Type).  So check
explicitly using PyType_IsSubtype().
