David Lechner d1bf0eeb0f tests/cpydiff: Add diff for overriding __init__.
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.
