Subject: [PATCH] Python 3.13 fix for missing dict segfault

Python 3.13 removed a safety net from PyModule_Type's tp_init slot
that created the module's md_dict member if it was NULL.  This
safety net was removed because, since Python 3.11, the md_dict is
created by tp_new and is never expected to be NULL.  So, in our
own code, we must ensure that tp_new is called before tp_init.
