tests/cpydiff: Add diff for overriding __init__.

dlech · laurensvalk · commit 005dcec773a6 · 2022-12-06T10:21:36.000+01:00
This adds a CPython diff that explains why calling super().__init__()
is required in MicroPython when subclassing a native type (because
__new__ and __init__ are not separate functions).

+description: When inheriting native types, calling a method in ``__init__(self, ...)`` before ``super().__init__()`` raises an ``AttributeError`` (or segfaults if ``MICROPY_BUILTIN_METHOD_CHECK_SELF_ARG`` is not enabled).
+cause: MicroPython does not have separate ``__new__`` and ``__init__`` methods in native types.
+workaround: Call ``super().__init__()`` first.
