bpo-37151: remove special case for PyCFunction from PyObject_Call
Alse, make the undocumented function PyCFunction_Call an alias
of PyObject_Call and deprecate it.
Issue #29259, #29263. methoddescr_call() creates a PyCFunction object, call it
and the destroy it. Add a new _PyMethodDef_RawFastCallDict() method to avoid
the temporary PyCFunction object.
Issue #27810: Add a new calling convention for C functions:
PyObject* func(PyObject *self, PyObject **args,
Py_ssize_t nargs, PyObject *kwnames);
Where args is a C array of positional arguments followed by values of keyword
arguments. nargs is the number of positional arguments, kwnames are keys of
keyword arguments. kwnames can be NULL.
Issue #27128: Add _PyObject_FastCall(), a new calling convention avoiding a
temporary tuple to pass positional parameters in most cases, but create a
temporary tuple if needed (ex: for the tp_call slot).
The API is prepared to support keyword parameters, but the full implementation
will come later (_PyFunction_FastCall() doesn't support keyword parameters
yet).
Add also:
* _PyStack_AsTuple() helper function: convert a "stack" of parameters to
a tuple.
* _PyCFunction_FastCall(): fast call implementation for C functions
* _PyFunction_FastCall(): fast call implementation for Python functions
Second step: keep tp_getattr functions when they are complex,
but use PyObject_GenericGetAttr() as a fallback.
These were the last occurrences of Py_FindMethod.

Re-enable tests, they were failing since gc.collect() clears the various freelists.
They still remain fragile.
For example, a call to assertEqual currently does not make any allocation
(which surprised me at first).
But this can change when gc.collect also deletes the numerous "zombie frames"
attached to each function.

(classobject.[ch] aren't empty yet because they also define PyMethod.)
This breaks lots of stuff, notably cPickle. But it's a step in the right
direction. I'll clean it up later.
(Also a few unrelated changes, e.g. T_NONE to define a "struct member"
that is always None, and simplification of __hash__ -- these are unfinished.)
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast(). Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.
I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc. Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes. The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].
One cast was required as a result of the changes: A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.
exposed in header files. Fixed a few comments in these headers.
As we might have expected, writing down invariants systematically exposed a
(minor) bug. In this case, function objects have a writeable func_code
attribute, which could be set to code objects with the wrong number of
free variables. Calling the resulting function segfaulted the interpreter.
Added a corresponding test.
__module__ is the string name of the module the function was defined
in, just like __module__ of classes. In some cases, particularly for
C functions, the __module__ may be None.
Change PyCFunction_New() from a function to a macro, but keep an
unused copy of the function around so that we don't change the binary
API.
Change pickle's save_global() to use whichmodule() if __module__ is
None, but add the __module__ logic to whichmodule() since it might be
used outside of pickle.
descriptor, as used for the tp_methods slot of a type. These new flag
bits are both optional, and mutually exclusive. Most methods will not
use either. These flags are used to create special method types which
exist in the same namespace as normal methods without having to use
tedious construction code to insert the new special method objects in
the type's tp_dict after PyType_Ready() has been called.
If METH_CLASS is specified, the method will represent a class method
like that returned by the classmethod() built-in.
If METH_STATIC is specified, the method will represent a static method
like that returned by the staticmethod() built-in.
These flags may not be used in the PyMethodDef table for modules since
these special method types are not meaningful in that case; a
ValueError will be raised if these flags are found in that context.
The descr changes moved the dispatch for calling objects from
call_object() in ceval.c to PyObject_Call() in abstract.c.
call_object() and the many functions it used in ceval.c were no longer
used, but were not removed.
Rename meth_call() as PyCFunction_Call() so that it can be called by
the CALL_FUNCTION opcode in ceval.c.
Also, fix error message that referred to PyEval_EvalCodeEx() by its
old name eval_code2(). (I'll probably refer to it by its old name,
too.)
