Make __dict__ accessible for Python builtin classes

Attribute set within instance of a SWIG Python wrapped class are
stored in SwigPyObject->dict, which tp_dictoffset slot is pointing to.

However, SWIG wrapped classes did not have a __dict__ attribute.
Inheriting subclasses did not get the attribute either because the
SWIG wrapped classes initialize the tp_dictoffset slot:

From http://bugs.python.org/issue16272:

"If a type defines a nonzero tp_dictoffset, that type is responsible for
defining a `__dict__` slot as part of the tp_getset structures. Failure to
do so will result in the dict being inaccessible from Python via
`obj.__dict__` from instances of the type or subtypes."

Provide a SwigPyObject_get___dict__() function to retrieve the dict
attribute or create it when it does not exist yet (it is normally
created when setting attribute set), and a PyGetSetDef entry pointing
to this function.
