Summary: Expose xrange type in builtins

Initial Comment:
The attached patch to rangeobject.c and bltinmodule.c exposes the
xrange type in te builtins module instead of a function.  The test suite 
passes.  The one obvious problem I'm aware of is that I simply copied 
get_len_of_range from bltinmodule.c, so it's now duplicated (it's used 
by range_new() as well).  I didn't want to create another _Py_* 
symbol just to share this little bit of code.  I'll be happy to resolve this 
problem however seems best.
