The args member variable is set by BaseException.__new__ and used by BaseException.__reduce__ for pickling. To avoid interfering with it, we need to avoid calling BaseException.__init__ from classes that have subclasses with incompatible constructors, and rename our own tornado.web.HTTPError.args member.

>>> pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(tornado.simple_httpclient.HTTPTimeoutError("message")))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: HTTPTimeoutError.__init__() takes 2 positional arguments but 4 were given
>>> str(pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(tornado.web.HTTPError(500, "%s", "foo"))))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/anders/python/tornado/tornado/web.py", line 2488, in __str__
    return message + " (" + (self.log_message % self.args) + ")"
                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~

The `args` member variable is set by `BaseException.__new__` and used
by `BaseException.__reduce__` for pickling.  To avoid interfering with
it, we need to avoid calling `BaseException.__init__` from classes
that have subclasses with incompatible constructors, and rename our
own `tornado.web.HTTPError.args` member.
