[issue20712] Make inspect agnostic about whether functions are implemented in Python or C

[Larry Hastings]

New submission from Larry Hastings:

Some of the methods on the inspect module behave differently depending on whether the callable passed in was implemented in C or in Python.  For example, ismethod() only returns True for bound methods implemented in Python.

I assert that the interface presented by inspect should be agnostic about the underlying implementation.  So for example ismethod() should return True for bound methods on builtin classes.
