Rewrote the basic section of the chapter on defining new types.
...
Changed the example to show how to create types the new way:
- Use a class new method rather than a new function.
- Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators
- Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods.
- Make the type usable as a base type.
I split the example into 3 parts:
1. The minimal new type
2. Adding attributes and methods.
3. Finer control over attributes.
It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully
show this.
I also made minor wording changes in two other places.
I still need to update xxobject.c

A newbie found it difficult to translate the exampe into a

He tried to shorten the tuple search but forgot the trailing comma,
The appropriate pattern is an equality check.
