bpo-39350: Fix fractions for int subclasses (GH-18375)

Fix regression in fractions.Fraction if the numerator and/or the
denominator is an int subclass. The math.gcd() function is now
used to normalize the numerator and denominator. math.gcd() always
return a int type. Previously, the GCD type depended on numerator
and denominator.
