In PyNumber_ToBase, changed from an assert to returning an error when PyObject_Index() returns something other than an int or long. It should never be possible to trigger this, as PyObject_Index checks to make sure it returns an int or long.

Two new functions:
* place_summary_first copies the regrtest summary to the front of the file
making it easier to scan quickly for problems.
* count_failures gets the actual count of the number of failing tests, not
just a 1 (some failures) or 0 (no failures).

Re-enable tests, they were failing since gc.collect() clears the various freelists.
They still remain fragile.
For example, a call to assertEqual currently does not make any allocation
(which surprised me at first).
But this can change when gc.collect also deletes the numerous "zombie frames"
attached to each function.
