[issue2735] range: lean and mean

[Benjamin Peterson]

New submission from Benjamin Peterson <musiccomposition at gmail.com>:

Per discussions on Python-3000, I've stipped range down to a bare
minimum. Here's an overview of the patch:

1. No slicing.
2. Length is computed in constructor and is a PyLong in the object's
struct. __len__ simply tries to convert it to a Py_ssize_t.
3. start, stop, and, step are exposed as attributes
