[IronPython] CP #20099: Stack Overflow using super() in dict subclass

[Dino Viehland]

The immediate question would be does fixing this unblock all other Django issues?  If there's going to be a long tail of other bugs then it'd be better to just fix them all for 2.0.1.

If you want to try this out the fix is easy, in PythonDictionary.cs replace the line:

                    this[(object)null] = value;

with:

                    _storage.Add(null, value);


You'll probably find that alone isn't sufficient - the getter probably needs a similar change where it does the same thing as this[object key].
