Summary: Make itertools.tee participate in GC

Initial Comment:
A small patch to make itertools.tee objects participate
in GC; solves the memoryleak in test_generators (and
any other use of tee objects in cycles.)

I will take a look at the patch soon.  IIRC, there was a 
concious decision to not have tee engage in GC because no 
normal use cases created cycles (they seem to arise only 
when intentionally creating a cycle for test code).
