Add a type.__init__() method that enforces the same signature as
type.__new__(), and then calls object.__init__(cls), just to be anal.
This allows us to restore the code in string.py's _TemplateMetaclass
that called super(...).__init__(name, bases, dct), which I commented
out yesterday since it broke due to the stricter argument checking
added to object.__init__().
