methods inherited via more than one class are documented more than once

[mwhudson]

See for example http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/9.0.0/api/twisted.internet.interfaces.IReadWriteDescriptor.html

I have this vague memory that there is code that's supposed to suppress the repeated documentation, but it clearly isn't working.

Assuming this is the problem, it still occurs with the latest pydoctor:

Inherited from IFileDescriptor (via IReadDescriptor):
...
Inherited from IFileDescriptor (via IWriteDescriptor):

So IFileDescriptor is listed as a superclass twice as a result of a diamond-shaped inheritance. However, ILoggingContext is listed only once, despite it being reachable via the same two routes:

Inherited from ILoggingContext (via IReadDescriptor, IFileDescriptor):

We should probably adapt our own version of the C3 algorithm that works with model.Class objects.
