Bug #13700: Enumerable#sum may not work for Ranges subclasses due to optimization

----------------------------------------
`Enumerable#sum` is optimized for integer ranges. Unfortunately, this can break subclasses:

```ruby
class StepTwoRange < Range
  def each(&block)
    step(2, &block)
  end
end

r = StepTwoRange.new(0, 10)
r.to_a     #=> [0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

r.to_a.sum #=> 30
r.sum      #=> 55
```

The optimization should therefore only be triggered for instances of `Range` and not for instances of subclasses. (or more specifically, not for subclasses overriding `each`)

If this behavior is intentional, it should at least be documented.
