[issue27865] WeakMethod does not support builtin methods

[Antony Lee]

New submission from Antony Lee:

List subclasses can be weakref'd (as mentioned by the docs), but their methods cannot be wrapped by WeakMethod, even though this makes sense semantically:
```
In [25]: class L(list): pass

In [26]: weakref.WeakMethod(L().append)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-26-f6246b3b483e> in <module>()
----> 1 weakref.WeakMethod(L().append)

/usr/lib/python3.5/weakref.py in __new__(cls, meth, callback)
     47         except AttributeError:
     48             raise TypeError("argument should be a bound method, not {}"
---> 49                             .format(type(meth))) from None
     50         def _cb(arg):
     51             # The self-weakref trick is needed to avoid creating a reference

TypeError: argument should be a bound method, not <class 'builtin_function_or_method'>
```
