Allow cdef class inheritance from builtin exception types

See original GitHub issue

In all supported CPython versions (Py2.6+), exceptions are implemented as builtin types. It would be nice to allow users to inherit from them in cdef classes, i.e. to directly support

cdef class MyException(Exception):
    cdef int error_info

Any reason that this was only done for Exception and not other classes like ValueError?
