gh-110815: Support non-ASCII keyword names in PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() (GH-110816)
It already mostly worked, except in the case when invalid keyword
argument with non-ASCII name was passed to function with non-ASCII
parameter names. Then it crashed in the debug mode.

gh-98154: Clarify Usage of "Reference Count" In the Docs (gh-107552)
PEP 683 (immortal objects) revealed some ways in which the Python documentation has been unnecessarily coupled to the implementation details of reference counts.  In the end users should focus on reference ownership, including taking references and releasing them, rather than on how many reference counts an object has.

This change updates the documentation to reflect that perspective.  It also updates the docs relative to immortal objects in a handful of places.

There is no plan to deprecate PyArg_Parse().

The deprecation was added as a comment in the C API documentation in
2007 by commit 85eb8c103c.

Larry Hastings 2a727916c5 Issue #20226: Major improvements to Argument Clinic.
* You may now specify an expression as the default value for a
  parameter!  Example: "sys.maxsize - 1".  This support is
  intentionally quite limited; you may only use values that
  can be represented as static C values.
* Removed "doc_default", simplified support for "c_default"
  and "py_default".  (I'm not sure we still even need
  "py_default", but I'm leaving it in for now in case a
  use presents itself.)
* Parameter lines support a trailing '\\' as a line
  continuation character, allowing you to break up long lines.
* The argument parsing code generated when supporting optional
  groups now uses PyTuple_GET_SIZE instead of PyTuple_GetSize,
  leading to a 850% speedup in parsing.  (Just kidding, this
  is an unmeasurable difference.)
* A bugfix for the recent regression where the generated
  prototype from pydoc for builtins would be littered with
  unreadable "=<object ...>"" default values for parameters
  that had no default value.
* Converted some asserts into proper failure messages.
* Many doc improvements and fixes.

Larry Hastings 83a9f48699 Issue #14328: Add keyword-only parameters to PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords.
They're optional-only for now (unlike in pure Python) but that's all
I needed.  The syntax can easily be relaxed if we want to support
required keyword-only arguments for extension types in the future.
