[IronPython] setattr and module

[Dino Viehland]

Thanks for the report Seo, I'll fix this for a future release (I don't think it'll make it in time for the next one).  The problem here is that we're not currently using DynamicSite's for the setattr built-in function.  Instead we go to a runtime call in PythonOps which is going to attempt to do this via interfaces and DynamicType's.  That's actually not the correct way to set attributes anymore as it doesn't work x-lang (or w/ the member access operators that are defined on ScriptModule).  Luckily get/delete were switched over a while ago so those just work.
