py: Rework mp_convert_member_lookup to properly handle built-ins.

This commit fixes lookups of class members to make it so that built-in
functions that are used as methods/functions of a class work correctly.

The mp_convert_member_lookup() function is pretty much completely changed
by this commit, but for the most part it's just reorganised and the
indenting changed.  The functional changes are:

- staticmethod and classmethod checks moved to later in the if-logic,
  because they are less common and so should be checked after the more
  common cases.

- The explicit mp_obj_is_type(member, &mp_type_type) check is removed
  because it's now subsumed by other, more general tests in this function.

- MP_TYPE_FLAG_BINDS_SELF and MP_TYPE_FLAG_BUILTIN_FUN type flags added to
  make the checks in this function much simpler (now they just test this
  bit in type->flags).

- An extra check is made for mp_obj_is_instance_type(type) to fix lookup of
  built-in functions.

Fixes #1326 and #6198.
