bpo-40428: Remove PyTuple_ClearFreeList() function (GH-19769)

Remove the following function from the C API:

* PyAsyncGen_ClearFreeLists()
* PyContext_ClearFreeList()
* PyDict_ClearFreeList()
* PyFloat_ClearFreeList()
* PyFrame_ClearFreeList()
* PyList_ClearFreeList()
* PySet_ClearFreeList()
* PyTuple_ClearFreeList()

Make these functions private, move them to the internal C API and
change their return type to void.

Call explicitly PyGC_Collect() to free all free lists.

Note: PySet_ClearFreeList() did nothing.
