[issue20308] inspect.Signature doesn't support user classes without __init__ or __new__

[Larry Hastings]

Larry Hastings added the comment:

__new__ and __init__ methods are very special.  They can't have signatures, because the mechanism we use to store the signatures won't work.  (We hide them as a special first line of the docstring, and __new__ and __init__ can't have custom docstrings.)

In my next patch for #20189,

inspect.signature(object)

will return a valid signature object.  But

class C: pass
inspect.signature(C)

still fails in that branch.
