Change example of retrieving & calling a Python function to not use

PyModule_GetDict(), which is also more flexible: it does not assume that the
"module" is a real module.

The new files included by \verbatiminput in newtypes.tex.

81b750d467
Move some of the longer example code to external fragments, and
...
include them using \verbatiminput. This has the advantage that pages
can still break at reasonable places, and examples that go longer than
a page won't get cut off.
Make a few small markup adjustments for consistency.
Explain that PyObject_New() is not a C function but a polymorphic
beast that returns a pointer to the type that's passed as the first
arg.
Explain why type objects use the PyObject_VAR_HEAD.

Fixed "u#" parser marker to pass through Unicode objects as-is without

Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
...
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group. These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

Exhibit good form in C code: always provide docstrings in method tables, and

SF [ #466125 ] PyLong_AsLongLong works for any integer.
...
Generalize PyLong_AsLongLong to accept int arguments too. The real point
is so that PyArg_ParseTuple's 'L' code does too. That code was
undocumented (AFAICT), so documented it.

A large contribution from Dave Kuhlman describing what each of the slots
...
in the type object is used for, for many of the more commonly used slots.
Thanks!
(But there is still a lot more to write on this topic.)
Markup and organizational changes by your friendly neighborhood
documentation czar.

Lots of new text and example code on embedding Python in C, contributed
...
by Albert Hofkamp. Some editing has been done for style and markup
consistency.
This also supplies an example of importing modules and calling a function
defined in the module, so this closes SF bug #440037 as well.
(The long example code was moved to a separate file so that it would
format properly.)
