After looking at GC code recently in #4479 I had a nagging feeling that inheritance might also be a problem with __traverse__.

I finally had some time to follow up on that thought today, and it turns out that indeed in cases of #[pyclass(extends = ...)] then we are currently not traversing the base class (or calling its' __clear__ function).

This PR fixes that, by modifying the generated code for both __traverse__ and __clear__ to call the base type's function.

Both of the new tests currently fail on main. I think this probably should be patched as 0.22.4, as this is just a straight-up memory leak for all inheritance cases otherwise :(

Aside from benchmarks CI failure (which is solved separately in #4591) I think this is now ready for merge. Does anyone want to review before I do so? I'm keen to merge and get on with back porting this for 0.22.4.
