Summary: xrange() * large integer

Initial Comment:
The (admittedly deprecated) feature that allows xrange 
objects to be multiplied by an integer no longer 
detects overflow because of PyNumber_Multiply() 
returning a long integer object in recent Python 
versions:

Objects/rangeobject.c: long_mul(): we call 
PyNumber_Multiply() and bail out if the result is 
NULL, but then use PyInt_AS_LONG() without checking 
the object type. This gives unexpected results when 
PyNumber_Multiply() returns a PyLongObject.
