gh-98724: Fix Py_CLEAR() macro side effects (#99100) (#100070)
The Py_CLEAR(), Py_SETREF() and Py_XSETREF() macros now only evaluate
their arguments once. If an argument has side effects, these side
effects are no longer duplicated.

Use temporary variables to avoid duplicating side effects of macro
arguments. If available, use _Py_TYPEOF() to avoid type punning.
Otherwise, use memcpy() for the assignment to prevent a
miscompilation with strict aliasing caused by type punning.

Add _Py_TYPEOF() macro: __typeof__() on GCC and clang.

Add test_py_clear() and test_py_setref() unit tests to _testcapi.

gh-99249: Clarify "read-only" slots tp_bases & tp_mro (GH-99342)
These slots are marked "should be treated as read-only" in the
table at the start of the document.  That doesn't say anything about
setting them in the static struct.

`tp_bases` docs did say that it should be ``NULL`` (TIL!). If you
ignore that, seemingly nothing bad happens. However, some slots
may not be inherited, depending on which sub-slot structs are present.
(FWIW, NumPy sets tp_bases and is affected by the quirk -- though to
be fair, its DUAL_INHERIT code probably predates tp_bases docs, and
also the result happens to be benign.)

This patch makes things explicit.
It also makes the summary table legend easier to scan.

gh-47146: Soft-deprecate structmember.h, expose its contents via Python.h (GH-99014)
The ``structmember.h`` header is deprecated, though it continues to be available
and there are no plans to remove it. There are no deprecation warnings. Old code
can stay unchanged (unless the extra include and non-namespaced macros bother
you greatly). Specifically, no uses in CPython are updated -- that would just be
unnecessary churn.
The ``structmember.h`` header is deprecated, though it continues to be
available and there are no plans to remove it.

Its contents are now available just by including ``Python.h``,
with a ``Py`` prefix added if it was missing:

- `PyMemberDef`, `PyMember_GetOne` and`PyMember_SetOne`
- Type macros like `Py_T_INT`, `Py_T_DOUBLE`, etc.
  (previously ``T_INT``, ``T_DOUBLE``, etc.)
- The flags `Py_READONLY` (previously ``READONLY``) and
  `Py_AUDIT_READ` (previously all uppercase)

Several items are not exposed from ``Python.h``:

- `T_OBJECT` (use `Py_T_OBJECT_EX`)
- `T_NONE` (previously undocumented, and pretty quirky)
- The macro ``WRITE_RESTRICTED`` which does nothing.
- The macros ``RESTRICTED`` and ``READ_RESTRICTED``, equivalents of
  `Py_AUDIT_READ`.
- In some configurations, ``<stddef.h>`` is not included from ``Python.h``.
  It should be included manually when using ``offsetof()``.

The deprecated header continues to provide its original
contents under the original names.
Your old code can stay unchanged, unless the extra include and non-namespaced
macros bother you greatly.

There is discussion on the issue to rename `T_PYSSIZET` to `PY_T_SSIZE` or
similar. I chose not to do that -- users will probably copy/paste that with any
spelling, and not renaming it makes migration docs simpler.
