When the Python iterator backing `PyIterator` has a `__length_hint__` special
method, we can use this as a lower bound for Rust's `Iterator::size_hint` to
e.g. support pre-allocation of collections.
This is implemented using `PyObject_LengthHint` which is not available in the
stable ABI and hence so is `Iterator::size_hint`. This should be fine since this
is an optimization in any case and the stable ABI is expected to have slightly
worse performance overall.
These are new and part of the stable API as of v3.12.0a6.
PyErr_Fetch(), PyErr_Restore(), and PyErr_NormalizeException()
were simultaneously deprecated in favor of these.

Following members are removed from the Unicode structures:
wstr
wstr_length
state.compact
state.ready
Note state.compact is still present as of v3.12.0a7.
state.interned has changed width from 2 to 1 bits.
3015: Implement wrapper for `PyASCIIObject.state` bitfield accesses r=davidhewitt a=decathorpe
This is a first draft of my attempt to fix#1824 "properly" by writing a C wrapper for the `PyASCIIObject.state` bitfield accesses, as proposed here: https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/issues/1824#issuecomment-1406909504
---
The original argument for making these functions `unsafe` is still valid, though - bitfield memory layout is not guaranteed to be stable across different C compilers, as it is "implementation defined" in the C standard. However, short of having CPython upstream provide non-inlined public functions to access this bitfield, this is the next best thing, as far as I can tell.
I've removed the `#[cfg(target_endian = "little")]` attributes from all things that are un-blocked by fixing this issue on big-endian systems, except for three tests, which look like expected failures considering that they do not take bit/byte order into account (for example, when writing to the bitfield).
- `ffi::tests::ascii_object_bitfield`
- `types::string::tests::test_string_data_ucs2_invalid`
- `types::string::tests::test_string_data_ucs4_invalid`
All other tests now pass on both little-endian and big-endian systems.
---
I am aware that some parts of this PR are probably not in a state that's acceptable for merging as-is, which is why I'm filing this as a draft. Feedback about how to better integrate this change with pyo3-ffi would be great. :)
In particular, I'm unsure whether the `#include` statements in the C files are actually correct across different systems. I have only tested this on Fedora Linux so far.
I'm also open to changing the names of the C functions that are implemented in the wrapper. For now I chose the most obvious names that shouldn't cause collisions with other symbols.
