This commit replaces the Python implementation of the tokenize module with an implementation
that reuses the real C tokenizer via a private extension module. The tokenize module now implements
a compatibility layer that transforms tokens from the C tokenizer into Python tokenize tokens for backward
compatibility.
As the C tokenizer does not emit some tokens that the Python tokenizer provides (such as comments and non-semantic newlines), a new special mode has been added to the C tokenizer mode that currently is only used via
the extension module that exposes it to the Python layer. This new mode forces the C tokenizer to emit these new extra tokens and add the appropriate metadata that is needed to match the old Python implementation.

Remove the token.h header file. There was never any public tokenizer
C API. The token.h header file was only designed to be used by Python
internals.
Move Include/token.h to Include/internal/pycore_token.h. Including
this header file now requires that the Py_BUILD_CORE macro is
defined. It no longer checks for the Py_LIMITED_API macro.
Rename functions:
* PyToken_OneChar() => _PyToken_OneChar()
* PyToken_TwoChars() => _PyToken_TwoChars()
* PyToken_ThreeChars() => _PyToken_ThreeChars()
