Damien George 816413e4b2 py: Optimise types for common case where type has a single parent type.
The common cases for inheritance are 0 or 1 parent types, for both built-in
types (eg built-in exceptions) as well as user defined types.  So it makes
sense to optimise the case of 1 parent type by storing just the type and
not a tuple of 1 value (that value being the single parent type).

This patch makes such an optimisation.  Even though there is a bit more
code to handle the two cases (either a single type or a tuple with 2 or
more values) it helps reduce overall code size because it eliminates the
need to create a static tuple to hold single parents (eg for the built-in
exceptions).  It also helps reduce RAM usage for user defined types that
only derive from a single parent.

Changes in code size (in bytes) due to this patch:
