bpo-38644: Add Py_EnterRecursiveCall() to the limited API (GH-17046)

Provide Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() as
regular functions for the limited API. Previously, there were defined
as macros, but these macros didn't work with the limited API which
cannot access PyThreadState.recursion_depth field.

Remove _Py_CheckRecursionLimit from the stable ABI.

Add Include/cpython/ceval.h header file.

 * Add a new public :c:func:`PyObject_CallNoArgs` function to the C API, which
   calls a callable Python object without any arguments. It is the most efficient
   way to call a callable Python object without any argument.
