bpo-46906: Add PyFloat_Pack8() to the C API (GH-31657)

Add new functions to pack and unpack C double (serialize and
deserialize):

* PyFloat_Pack2(), PyFloat_Pack4(), PyFloat_Pack8()
* PyFloat_Unpack2(), PyFloat_Unpack4(), PyFloat_Unpack8()

Document these functions and add unit tests.

Rename private functions and move them from the internal C API
to the public C API:

* _PyFloat_Pack2() => PyFloat_Pack2()
* _PyFloat_Pack4() => PyFloat_Pack4()
* _PyFloat_Pack8() => PyFloat_Pack8()
* _PyFloat_Unpack2() => PyFloat_Unpack2()
* _PyFloat_Unpack4() => PyFloat_Unpack4()
* _PyFloat_Unpack8() => PyFloat_Unpack8()

Replace the "unsigned char*" type with "char*" which is more common
and easy to use.
