Currently the "symtable entry" extension type (PySTEntry_Type) defined in `Python/symtable.c` defines no `tp_new` or `tp_init`, making it impossible to create instances of this type from Python code.

I have a use case for pickling symbol tables (as part of a cache subsystem for a static analyzer), but the inability to create instances of symtable entries from attributes makes this impossible, even with custom pickle support via dispatch_table or copyreg.

If the idea of making instances of this type creatable from Python is accepted in principle, I can submit a PR for it.

Thanks!
