Summary: Creating dicts for dict subclasses

Initial Comment:
This patch changes dictobject.c so that creating dicts from mapping like objects only uses the internal dict functions if the argument is a *real* dict, not a subclass. This means that overwritten keys() and __getitem__() methods are now honored. In addition to that the fallback implementation now tries iterkeys() before trying keys(). It also adds a PyMapping_IterKeys() macro.
