Surprising fix for SF bug 563060: module can be used as base class.

Change the module constructor (module_init) to have the signature
__init__(name:str, doc=None); this prevents the call from type_new()
to succeed.  While we're at it, prevent repeated calling of
module_init for the same module from leaking the dict, changing the
semantics so that __dict__ is only initialized if NULL.

Also adding a unittest, test_module.py.

This is an incompatibility with 2.2, if anybody was instantiating the
module class before, their argument list was probably empty; so this
can't be backported to 2.2.x.

- The constructor for the module type now requires a name argument and
takes an optional docstring argument. Previously, this constructor
ignored its arguments. As a consequence, deriving a class from a
module (not from the module type) is now illegal; previously this
created an unnamed module, just like invoking the module type did.
