Previously, the result could have been an instance of a subclass of int.
Also revert bpo-26202 and make attributes start, stop and step of the range
object having exact type int.
Add private function _PyNumber_Index() which preserves the old behavior
of PyNumber_Index() for performance to use it in the conversion functions
like PyLong_AsLong().
Use _PyArg_CheckPositional() and inlined code instead of
PyArg_UnpackTuple() and _PyArg_UnpackStack() if all parameters
are positional and use the "object" converter.
Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS in Argument Clinic generated code.
