gh-134160: Split extension module init from PyModule docs; emphasize multi-phase init (GH-135126)
Document behaviour of single-phase init. Call it "legacy".

Reorganize PyModule docs.

Move PyInit_modulename docs from the tutorial to reference documentation.

Move PyMODINIT_FUNC docs from generic macros to the new page.

Add doc stubs for `PYTHON_API_VERSION` & `PYTHON_ABI_VERSION`

Remove incorrect refcounts.dat entry for `PyModuleDef_Init`.
This removes the "Return value: Borrowed reference." note.
Instead, note that the function sometimes returns a borrowed reference,
sometimes as strong one.
(IMO, it's best to not think of `PyModuleDef` as a `PyObject` at all,
and act like it can't be reference-counted.)

gh-65210: Add const qualifiers in PyArg_VaParseTupleAndKeywords() (GH-105958)
Change the declaration of the keywords parameter in functions
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() and PyArg_VaParseTupleAndKeywords() from `char **`
to `char * const *` in C and `const char * const *` in C++.

It makes these functions compatible with argument of type `const char * const *`,
`const char **` or `char * const *` in C++ and `char * const *` in C
without explicit type cast.

gh-107298: Fix more Sphinx warnings in the C API doc (#107329)
Declare the following functions as macros, since they are actually
macros. It avoids a warning on "TYPE" or "macro" argument.

* PyMem_New()
* PyMem_Resize()
* PyModule_AddIntMacro()
* PyModule_AddStringMacro()
* PyObject_GC_New()
* PyObject_GC_NewVar()
* PyObject_New()
* PyObject_NewVar()

Add C standard C types to nitpick_ignore in Doc/conf.py:

* int64_t
* uint64_t
* uintptr_t

No longer ignore non existing "__int" type in nitpick_ignore.

Update Doc/tools/.nitignore

gh-105145: Remove old functions to config Python init (#105154)
Remove the following old functions to configure the Python
initialization, deprecated in Python 3.11:

* PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()
* PySys_AddWarnOption()
* PySys_AddXOption()
* PySys_HasWarnOptions()
* PySys_SetArgvEx()
* PySys_SetArgv()
* PySys_SetPath()
* Py_SetPath()
* Py_SetProgramName()
* Py_SetPythonHome()
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()

Most of these functions are kept in the stable ABI, except:

* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()

Update Doc/extending/embedding.rst and Doc/extending/extending.rst to
use the new PyConfig API.

_testembed.c:

* check_stdio_details() now sets stdio_encoding and stdio_errors
  of PyConfig.
* Add definitions of functions removed from the API but kept in the
  stable ABI.
* test_init_from_config() and test_init_read_set() now use
  PyConfig_SetString() instead of PyConfig_SetBytesString().

Remove _Py_ClearStandardStreamEncoding() internal function.

gh-47146: Soft-deprecate structmember.h, expose its contents via Python.h (GH-99014)
The ``structmember.h`` header is deprecated, though it continues to be available
and there are no plans to remove it. There are no deprecation warnings. Old code
can stay unchanged (unless the extra include and non-namespaced macros bother
you greatly). Specifically, no uses in CPython are updated -- that would just be
unnecessary churn.
The ``structmember.h`` header is deprecated, though it continues to be
available and there are no plans to remove it.

Its contents are now available just by including ``Python.h``,
with a ``Py`` prefix added if it was missing:

- `PyMemberDef`, `PyMember_GetOne` and`PyMember_SetOne`
- Type macros like `Py_T_INT`, `Py_T_DOUBLE`, etc.
  (previously ``T_INT``, ``T_DOUBLE``, etc.)
- The flags `Py_READONLY` (previously ``READONLY``) and
  `Py_AUDIT_READ` (previously all uppercase)

Several items are not exposed from ``Python.h``:

- `T_OBJECT` (use `Py_T_OBJECT_EX`)
- `T_NONE` (previously undocumented, and pretty quirky)
- The macro ``WRITE_RESTRICTED`` which does nothing.
- The macros ``RESTRICTED`` and ``READ_RESTRICTED``, equivalents of
  `Py_AUDIT_READ`.
- In some configurations, ``<stddef.h>`` is not included from ``Python.h``.
  It should be included manually when using ``offsetof()``.

The deprecated header continues to provide its original
contents under the original names.
Your old code can stay unchanged, unless the extra include and non-namespaced
macros bother you greatly.

There is discussion on the issue to rename `T_PYSSIZET` to `PY_T_SSIZE` or
similar. I chose not to do that -- users will probably copy/paste that with any
spelling, and not renaming it makes migration docs simpler.
