…gh-122867) There were a still a number of gaps in the tests, including not looking at all the builtin types and not checking wrappers in subinterpreters that weren't in the main interpreter. This fixes all that. I considered incorporating the names of the PyTypeObject fields (a la gh-122866), but figured doing so doesn't add much value.

In Objects/typeobject.c you'll find a static array named "slotdefs", which provides all the information needed to expose a type's "tp slots" (
PyTypeObjectfields) to Python code as "dunder" methods. The array is initialized using a bunch of macros that identify the tp slot and attribute name that go together. The array ends up holding that attribute name, but the slot name is not preserved currently. Having that mapping would be helpful for a test I've been working on (as well as various personal scripts I've been using).An alternative approach would be to have the macros actually preserve the slot name in each array item. That seems better than the after-the-fact way I've done it here. However, I tried modifying typeobject.c along those lines and it ended up being a bit messy. The approach here is less disruptive, so I've gone that route. Given that my current needs here are strictly related to tests, the testing-focused solution here should be fine.
(I may still circle back to the better approach later, to see if I can make it less disruptive.)
