bpo-43244: Remove symtable.h header file (GH-24910)
Rename Include/symtable.h to to Include/internal/pycore_symtable.h, don't export symbols anymore (replace PyAPI_FUNC and PyAPI_DATA with extern) and rename functions: * PyST_GetScope() to _PyST_GetScope() * PySymtable_BuildObject() to _PySymtable_Build() * PySymtable_Free() to _PySymtable_Free() Remove PySymtable_Build(), Py_SymtableString() and Py_SymtableStringObject() functions. The Py_SymtableString() function was part the stable ABI by mistake but it could not be used, since the symtable.h header file was excluded from the limited C API. The Python symtable module remains available and is unchanged.
