bpo-40939: Remove documentation for PyParser_* & add porting notes (GH-26855)

I tried to be relatively thorough and give lots of links.
One reason is that this wasn't deprecated very long; also it seems people running into this tend to not be familiar with similar APIs.

However sometimes you have to run the embedded Python interpreter in the same
thread as your rest application and you can't allow the
:c:func:`PyRun_InteractiveLoop` to stop while waiting for user input. The one
solution then is to call :c:func:`PyParser_ParseString` and test for ``e.error``
equal to ``E_EOF``, which means the input is incomplete. Here's a sample code
fragment, untested, inspired by code from Alex Farber::
#define PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN
#include <Python.h>
#include <node.h>
#include <errcode.h>
#include <grammar.h>
#include <parsetok.h>
#include <compile.h>
int testcomplete(char *code)
/* code should end in \n */
/* return -1 for error, 0 for incomplete, 1 for complete */
{
node *n;
perrdetail e;
n = PyParser_ParseString(code, &_PyParser_Grammar,
Py_file_input, &e);
if (n == NULL) {
if (e.error == E_EOF)
return 0;
return -1;
}
PyNode_Free(n);
return 1;
}
Another solution is trying to compile the received string with
:c:func:`PyRun_InteractiveLoop` to stop while waiting for user input.
A solution is trying to compile the received string with
:c:func:`Py_CompileString`. If it compiles without errors, try to execute the
returned code object by calling :c:func:`PyEval_EvalCode`. Otherwise save the
input for later. If the compilation fails, find out if it's an error or just
