Speed of gevent.local.local more, especially for subclasses (2-3x faster)

Do this with some cython tricks and some caching of type attributes.
Cython 0.28 compiles this code to be quite a bit faster than Cython
0.27 does (the below uses 0.28), but it's still a win on both.

The type caching could potentially be a compatibility issue, but in
practice I suspect it won't be.
