gh-129559: Add bytearray.resize() (GH-129560)

Add bytearray.resize() which wraps PyByteArray_Resize.

Make negative size passed to resize exception/error rather than crash in optimized builds.

+
+      Resize the :class:`bytearray` to contain *size* bytes. *size* must be
+      greater than or equal to 0.
+
+      If the :class:`bytearray` needs to shrink, bytes beyond *size* are truncated.
+
+      If the :class:`bytearray` needs to grow, all new bytes, those beyond *size*,
+      will be set to null bytes.
+
+
+      This is equivalent to:
+
+      >>> def resize(ba, size):
+      ...     if len(ba) > size:
+      ...         del ba[size:]
+      ...     else:
+      ...         ba += b'\0' * (size - len(ba))

+
+      >>> shrink = bytearray(b'abc')
+      >>> shrink.resize(1)
+      >>> (shrink, len(shrink))

 Since bytearray objects are sequences of integers (akin to a list), for a
 bytearray object *b*, ``b[0]`` will be an integer, while ``b[0:1]`` will be
 a bytearray object of length 1.  (This contrasts with text strings, where
