[issue2517] Error when printing an exception containing a Unicode string

[Nick Coghlan]

I'm not sure adding a dedicated method slot would be worth the hassle
involved - Py3k drop backs to just the tp_str slot anyway, and the only
thing you gain with a tp_unicode slot over _PyType_Lookup of a
__unicode__ attribute is a small reduction in memory usage and a slight
speed increase.
