bpo-40824: Do not mask errors in __iter__ in "in" and the operator module. (GH-20537)

Unexpected errors in calling the __iter__ method are no longer
masked by TypeError in the "in" operator and functions
operator.contains(), operator.indexOf() and operator.countOf().
(cherry picked from commit cafe1b6)
