[3.7] bpo-28866: No type cache for types with specialized mro, invalidation is hard. (GH-13157) (GH-13589)

* No type cache for types with specialized mro, invalidation is hard.

* FIX: Don't disable method cache custom types that do not implement mro().

* fixing implem.

* Avoid storing error flags, also decref.

* news entry

* Clear as soon as we're getting an error.

* FIX: Reference leak.
(cherry picked from commit 180dc1b)
