Use generic attribute management in PL/Python

Switch the implementation of the plan and result types to generic attribute
management, as described at <http://docs.python.org/extending/newtypes.html>.
This modernizes and simplifies the code a bit and prepares for Python 3.1,
where the old way doesn't work anymore.
