New description:
This patch fixes the parent and element classes for Hom categories to
be purely abstract, and simplifies the Hom logic:
- Unified the logic for selecting the class when building a Homset
(e.g. Homset, RingHomset, HeckeModuleHomspace, ...). This is now
systematically done through the _Hom_ hook. The logic still has a
fundamental flaw, but that's for the later #10668.
- The cache for Hom is handled at a single point in Hom
In particular, homsets created via the _Hom_ hook are now unique.
- If category is None, Hom simply calls itself with the meet of the
categories of the parent, which removes a cache handling duplication.
- Parent.Hom calls Hom directly (removes duplicate _Hom_ logic).
- ParentWithBase.Hom was redundant and is gone.
- Reduce the footprint of the current trick to delegate
Hom(F,F)(on_basis=...) to module_morphism, allow for the diagonal
option too, an make sure the homset category is set properly.
- Update a doctest in sage.modules.vector_space_homspace to take into
account that homsets created via _Hom_ are now unique.
- Scheme is (apparently) an abstract base class; so it should not be
instantiated. I changed some doctests in
sage.schemes.generic.SchemeMorphism to use instead the concrete
Spec(ZZ). Those doctests were breaking because Scheme does not
implement equality, which is required for Hom caching.
As a byproduct, the HeckeModules category does not import any more
HeckeModulesHomspace, which was a recurrent source of import loops.

Comment:
Let's try, even though I have no idea about the segfault:
Apply trac_12876_category_abstract_classes_for_hom.patch
trac_12876_r_test.patch
