* Add math.isqrt function computing the integer square root.
* Code cleanup: remove redundant comments, rename some variables.
* Tighten up code a bit more; use Py_XDECREF to simplify error handling.
* Update Modules/mathmodule.c

* Update Modules/mathmodule.c
Use real argument clinic type instead of an alias
Co-Authored-By: Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka@gmail.com>
* Add proof sketch
* Updates from review.
* Correct and expand documentation.
* Fix bad reference handling on error; make some variables block-local; other tidying.
* Style and consistency fixes.
* Add missing error check; don't try to DECREF a NULL a
* Simplify some error returns.
* Another two test cases:
- clarify that floats are rejected even if they happen to be
squares of small integers
- TypeError beats ValueError for a negative float
* Add fast path for small inputs. Needs tests.
* Speed up isqrt for n >= 2**64 as well; add extra tests.
* Reduce number of test-cases to avoid dominating the run-time of test_math.
* Don't perform unnecessary extra iterations when computing c_bit_length.
* Abstract common uint64_t code out into a separate function.
* Cleanup.
* Add a missing Py_DECREF in an error branch. More cleanup.
* Update Modules/mathmodule.c
Add missing `static` declaration to helper function.

The overflow check was relying on undefined behaviour as it was using the result of the multiplication to do the check, and once the overflow has already happened, any operation on the result is undefined behaviour.
Some extra checks that exercise code paths related to this are also added.
The standard math library (libm) may follow IEEE-754 recommendation to
include an implementation of sinPi(), i.e. sinPi(x):=sin(pi*x).
And this triggers a name clash, found by FreeBSD developer
Steve Kargl, who worken on putting sinpi into libm used on FreeBSD
(it has to be named "sinpi", not "sinPi", cf. e.g.
https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/experimental/fpext4).
Use the fast call convention for math functions atan2(),
copysign(), hypot() and remainder() and inline unpacking
arguments. This sped up them by 1.3--2.5 times.
The *max* value is no longer treated as a special case in the main loop. Besides making the main loop simpler and branchless, this also lets us relax the input restriction of *vec* to contain only non-negative values.
* Add Py_UNREACHABLE() as an alias to abort().
* Use Py_UNREACHABLE() instead of assert(0)
* Convert more unreachable code to use Py_UNREACHABLE()
* Document Py_UNREACHABLE() and a few other macros.
* Implement math.remainder.
* Fix markup for arguments; use double spaces after period.
* Mark up function reference in what's new entry.
* Add comment explaining the calculation in the final branch.
* Fix out-of-order entry in whatsnew.
* Add comment explaining why it's good enough to compare m with c, in spite of possible rounding error.
* bpo-26121: Use C library implementation for math functions:
tgamma(), lgamma(), erf() and erfc().
* Don't use tgamma() and lgamma() from libc on OS X.
Issue #28858: The change b9c9691c72c5 introduced a regression. It seems like
_PyObject_CallArg1() uses more stack memory than
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs().
* PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL) => _PyObject_CallNoArg(func)
* PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, arg, NULL) => _PyObject_CallArg1(func, arg)
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs() allocates 40 bytes on the C stack and requires
extra work to "parse" C arguments to build a C array of PyObject*.
_PyObject_CallNoArg() and _PyObject_CallArg1() are simpler and don't allocate
memory on the C stack.
This change is part of the fastcall project. The change on listsort() is
related to the issue #23507.
