__deepcopy__ implementations on metaclasses are ignored because deepcopy explicitly ignores class objects.

It seems to me that more consistent behavior would be to use a null op as a fallback for class objects that do not have any of the relevant methods implemented (deepcopy, reduce, reduce_ex, etc)

I've attached a PR that implements this.
