Prepare Stacklss 3.5

Originally reported by: Anselm Kruis (Bitbucket: akruis, GitHub: akruis)

Python 3.5 adds a few new features, which affect Stackless. Here are the results of a quick and dirty review of What’s New In Python 3.5:

https://bugs.python.org/issue21205: New generator attribute __qualname__. PyGenObject gets two new members: gi_name and gi_qualname.

Pickling support implemented: a8f3bfa783a9
https://bugs.python.org/issue19235: new RecursionError exception
https://bugs.python.org/issue24400: PEP 492 - Coroutines with async and await syntax

As part of the PEP 492 implementation, the tp_reserved slot of PyTypeObject was replaced with a tp_as_async slot. Refer to Coroutine Objects for new types, structures and functions.

The coroutine type is just a variant of the generator type. Therefore it is possible to reuse the pickling code for generators to enable pickling of coroutines. Implemented with commit e2bf67837ac2.

A very last step: adapt the msi installer. Since Python 3.5 a new Wix based installer is used. Fortunately it is not too hard to adapt the installer.

Issue #112: adapt the new mis installer to Stackless Python

Installers for Windows v3.5.4 are available for download on stackless.com. I can't build macOS installers.
