Use tp_members in SpecificationBase and ClassProvidesBase.

Instead of storing 1 and 2 attributes, respectively, in __dict__. This lets us eliminate inst_attr and its use of an undocumented API.

It also helps reign in the size of these objects. Before, on CPython 8, a ClassProvides object that subclasses both SpecificationBase and ClassProvidesBase required 408 bytes: 48 for the object, 360 for the dict.

Now it requires 72 + 232 = 304.

With a bit of work on defining __slots__ in Python, that can be brought much lower still, I think.

zope.security tests pass with this installed.
