Summary: compiler generates bad code for "del"

Initial Comment:
The compiler generates bad code from the following
statement:

  del a[0], a[1]

Here is the AST:

  Stmt([AssTuple([Subscript(Name('a'), 'OP_DELETE',
       [Const(0)]), Subscript(Name('a'), 'OP_DELETE',
       [Const(1)])])])

The bytecode generated is:

          0 SET_LINENO               0
          3 UNPACK_SEQUENCE          2
  BAD ------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
          6 SET_LINENO               2
          9 LOAD_NAME                0 (a)
         12 LOAD_CONST               1 (0)
         15 DELETE_SUBSCR       
         16 LOAD_NAME                0 (a)
         19 LOAD_CONST               2 (1)
         22 DELETE_SUBSCR       


The problem, AFAICT, is that findOp does not find
OP_DELETE.  Adding a visitSubscript method to OpFinder
seems to be the fix.  A small patch is attached.  This
is a 2.1.2 bugfix candidate, IMO.
