Make Gin dynamic class wrapping compatible with pickle.
A new take on how to do this, since the wrapt approach also didn't end up working. This approach does the following:
When wrapping a class where mutation should be disallowed, this dynamically subclasses the class's metaclass, and intercepts/wraps its call.
However, this metaclass then returns an instance of the original type, which allows pickling to work.
To preserve proper signature checking, there are a few changes also to the general Gin wrapper function, to always use the signature associated with the right init/new function.
