Support pickling of extension classes (#7481)

This operates by providing default implementations of `__getstate__`
and `__setstate__` for extension classes. Our implementations work by
storing a `__mypyc_attrs__` tuple in each class that we generate and
collecting all of the attributes in it into a dict.

Fixes #697.
