Issue #23571: PyObject_Call(), PyCFunction_Call() and call_function() now

raise a SystemError if a function returns a result and raises an exception.
The SystemError is chained to the previous exception.

Refactor also PyObject_Call() and PyCFunction_Call() to make them more readable.

Remove some checks which became useless (duplicate checks).
