[Python-Dev] Support for PyGetSetDefs in pydoc

Patch #1520294 adds support for attributes defined with PyGetSetDef  
in extension modules to pydoc, specifically so things like help 
(array.array.typecode) gives something useful, like the attribute's  
docstring for instance.

Along the way, I added types.GetSetterType and inspect.isgetsetter(),  
along with tests and docs.  Now I definitely think that the pydoc  
change should go into Python 2.5 and be backported to Python 2.4, but  
it's a bit of a question whether the types.py and inspect.py changes  
should go into Python 2.5 now that we're in beta.

I personal think they're worthwhile changes to go it, but I won't  
argue too hard for them since the pydoc fixes can be implemented with  
local changes to pydoc.py alone.

Thoughts?
