Added new an better structseq representation. E.g. repr(time.gmtime(0)) now returns 'time.struct_time(tm_year=1970, tm_mon=1, tm_mday=1, tm_hour=0, tm_min=0, tm_sec=0, tm_wday=3, tm_yday=1, tm_isdst=0)' instead of '(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 3, 1, 0)'. The feature is part of #1816: sys.flags

+- Object/structseq.c: Implemented new structseq representation. structseqs

 - Patch #1700288: added a type attribute cache that caches method accesses,
   resulting in speedups in heavily object-oriented code.
