New submission from Inada Naoki <songofaca...@gmail.com>:

PyDict_DelItem stores DUMMY entry in the hash table. Without DUMMY, collision 
chain will be broken so proving will be not working.

But `dict.popitem()` returns the last item in the insertion order. The item 
must be the last item of collision chain too.
So `dict.popitem()` can use EMPTY entry instead of DUMMY, and reduce dict 
resizing.
