The LOAD_SUPER_ATTR optimization was missing the check (found in _PyObject_GetMethod) to restrict the load-method optimization to lookups only against types that use PyObject_GenericGetAttr for their tp_getattro. This excludes, for example, meta-types, which have their own tp_getattro implementation (_Py_type_getattro).

Summary: This bug was discovered in the upstream `LOAD_SUPER_ATTR` implementation in 3.12b1, and it also exists in the Cinder implementation. `_PyObject_GetMethod` checks whether the type has a non-standard `tp_getattro` (i.e. not `PyObject_GenericGetAttr`), and if so, refuses to attempt the load-method optimization. We didn't have this check in the `super()` optimization, causing incompatible behavior in the case of a `super()` lookup on a type with unusual `tp_getattro`, e.g. meta-types.
