bpo-35713: Rework Python initialization (GH-11647)
* The PyByteArray_Init() and PyByteArray_Fini() functions have been removed. They did nothing since Python 2.7.4 and Python 3.2.0, were excluded from the limited API (stable ABI), and were not documented. * Move "_PyXXX_Init()" and "_PyXXX_Fini()" declarations from Include/cpython/pylifecycle.h to Include/internal/pycore_pylifecycle.h. Replace "PyAPI_FUNC(TYPE)" with "extern TYPE". * _PyExc_Init() now returns an error on failure rather than calling Py_FatalError(). Move macros inside _PyExc_Init() and undefine them when done. Rewrite macros to make them look more like statement: add ";" when using them, add "do { ... } while (0)". * _PyUnicode_Init() now returns a _PyInitError error rather than call Py_FatalError(). * Move stdin check from _PySys_BeginInit() to init_sys_streams(). * _Py_ReadyTypes() now returns a _PyInitError error rather than calling Py_FatalError().

Build and C API Changes
=======================
+* The :c:func:`PyByteArray_Init` and :c:func:`PyByteArray_Fini` functions have
+ been removed. They did nothing since Python 2.7.4 and Python 3.2.0, were
+ excluded from the limited API (stable ABI), and were not documented.
+
* The result of :c:func:`PyExceptionClass_Name` is now of type
``const char *`` rather of ``char *``.
