Summary: Allow __class __ assignment for classes with __slots__

Initial Comment:
I made a modification in typeobject.c to allow __class__ modification for classes with slots. It's basically a change in same_slots_added to count the offset of the slots and check if the names of the slots are the same (in the naive way). 

I don't check if slots are in a different order, that may be an improve.

The patch is against trunk, with some tests. It's my first submission on Python, so every feedback will be welcome :).

Just going through the list doesn't seem so naive to me.  If the slots are
in a different order, then you would need to move the data around -- which
borders on "maybe they ought to have written the translator themselves"
