To not break existing code I've decided to leave the child property
mechanism as it is, but I've removed the need for dummy container child
classes. INIT-CHILD-SLOTS will now search the class hierarchy for a
child class if it can't find one for the current container.

I've also fixed a bug in the introspection part so that slot definitions
from superclasses are not also added to the definitions of
subclasses. This may break code that uses accessors previously defined
in the now removed redundant slot definitions.
