[issue1617687] specialcase simple sliceobj in list (and bugfixes)

[Thomas Wouters]

Thomas Wouters added the comment:

I prefer the current method, as it's more obviously walking in two
strides across the same array. I also dislike hiding the final memmove()
of the tail bit inside the loop. As for which is more obvious, I would
submit neither is obvious, as it took me quite a bit of brainsweat to
figure out how either version was supposed to work after not looking at
the code for months :)

Committed revision 57619.
