When attempting to produce a repr for local variables, attempt to cope better with trashed memory: - Use "<invalid object at 0x1234>" as the repr of a `PyObject*` pointing directly at invalid memory, or one whose `ob_type` points at invalid memory. - Use "<list object at 0x1234>" as, for instance, the repr of a list containing an invalid `ob_items` pointer. More generally, use this for any object where we can determine the type, but generating the repr according to that type's rules fails due to accessing unmapped memory. Test this with some ctypes abuse. Signed-off-by: Matt Wozniski <mwozniski@bloomberg.net>

LGTM but left a comment regarding the (possible) flakiness of the test
