Summary: gc.get_count() and other changes

Initial Comment:
This patch adds gc.get_count() as a companion to
gc.get_threshold().  It also adds an optional argument
to  gc.collect() to allow you to specify the generation
to collect.

This patch also fixes a couple of gcc warnings.

I fixed the 2 warnings with %ld, so that part of the patch
isn't necessary any longer.

Instead of setting genarg = -999, can't you just set it to
NUM_GENERATIONS - 1 and get rid of the check for -999?

Doesn't ValueError make more sense than an IndexError? 
Isn't ValueError typically used for invalid args?

Should gc_collect be:  METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS ?
