mechanism. In the process, fix a bug where isinstance() and issubclass(),
when given a tuple of classes as second argument, were looking up
__instancecheck__ / __subclasscheck__ on the tuple rather than on each
type object.

Optimization of str.format() for cases with str, unicode, int, long,
and float arguments. This gives about 30% speed improvement for the
simplest (but most common) cases. This patch skips the __format__
dispatch, and also avoids creating an object to hold the format_spec.
Unfortunately there's a complication in 2.6 with int, long, and float
because they always expect str format_specs. So in the unicode
version of this optimization, just check for unicode objects. int,
float, long, and str can be added later, if needed.
long raise ValueError instead of returning 0. Also, change the error
message for conversion of an infinity to an integer, replacing 'long' by
'integer', so that it's appropriate for both long(float('inf')) and
int(float('inf')).

all been updated to perform better checks and places in the code that
would previously leak memory on the error path when such an allocation
failed have been fixed.
