* Move all functions to call objects in a new Objects/call.c file.
* Rename fast_function() to _PyFunction_FastCallKeywords().
* Copy null_error() from Objects/abstract.c
* Inline type_error() in call.c to not have to copy it, it was only
called once.
* Export _PyEval_EvalCodeWithName() since it is now called
from call.c.
test_unraisable() of test_exceptions expects that PyErr_WriteUnraisable(method)
fails on repr(method).
Before the previous change (7b8df4a5d81d), slot_tp_finalize() called
PyErr_WriteUnraisable() with a PyMethodObject. In this case, repr(method) calls
repr(self) which is BrokenRepr.__repr__() and the calls raises a new exception.
After the previous change, slot_tp_finalize() uses an unbound method: repr() is
called on a regular __del__() method which doesn't call repr(self). repr()
doesn't fail anymore.
PyErr_WriteUnraisable() doesn't call __repr__() anymore, so remove BrokenRepr
unit test.
Issue #29507: Optimize slots calling Python methods. For Python methods, get
the unbound Python function and prepend arguments with self, rather than
calling the descriptor which creates a temporary PyMethodObject.
Add a new _PyObject_FastCall_Prepend() function used to call the unbound Python
method with self. It avoids the creation of a temporary tuple to pass
positional arguments.
Avoiding temporary PyMethodObject and avoiding temporary tuple makes Python
slots up to 1.46x faster. Microbenchmark on a __getitem__() method implemented
in Python:
Median +- std dev: 121 ns +- 5 ns -> 82.8 ns +- 1.0 ns: 1.46x faster (-31%)

Issue #29259, #29465: PyCFunction_Call() doesn't create anymore a redundant
tuple to pass positional arguments for METH_VARARGS.
Add a new cfunction_call() subfunction.
* *PyCFunction_*Call*() functions now call Py_EnterRecursiveCall().
* PyObject_Call() now calls directly _PyFunction_FastCallDict() and
PyCFunction_Call() to avoid calling Py_EnterRecursiveCall() twice per
function call
