_Py_InitializeEx_Private in Python/pylifecycle.c calls _Py_ReadyTypes
in Objects/object.c. This calls PyType_Ready(&PyType_Type) in
Objects/typeobject.c, which assigns type->tp_base = &PyBaseObject_Type
and then calls inherit_slots. This executes COPYSLOT(tp_alloc), which
assigns PyType_Type.tp_alloc = PyBaseObject_Type.tp_alloc, which is
statically assigned as PyType_GenericAlloc.
