bpo-29137: Remove fpectl module (#4789)
This module has never been enabled by default, never worked correctly on x86-64, and caused ABI problems that caused C extension compatibility. See bpo-29137 for details/discussion.

+The ``fpectl`` library has been removed. It was never enabled by default,
+never worked correctly on x86-64, and it changed the Python ABI in ways that
+caused unexpected breakage of C extensions.
