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.
Implement conversion between rust_decimal::Decimal and decimal.Decimal
from Python's stdlib. The C API does not appear to be exposed on the
Python side so we need to call into it via Python.
2947: change PyModule::add_class to return an error if class creation fails r=adamreichold a=davidhewitt
Related to #2942
At the moment there are panics deep in the `#[pyclass]` machinery when initialising the type fails. This PR adjusts a number of these functions to return `PyResult` instead, so that we can handle the error more appropriately further down the pipeline.
For example, take the following snippet:
```rust
#[pyclass(extends = PyBool)]
struct ExtendsBool;
#[pymodule]
fn pyo3_scratch(_py: Python, m: &PyModule) -> PyResult<()> {
m.add_class::<ExtendsBool>()?;
Ok(())
}
```
Currently, importing this module will fail with a panic:
```
TypeError: type 'bool' is not an acceptable base type
thread '<unnamed>' panicked at 'An error occurred while initializing class ExtendsBool', /Users/david/Dev/pyo3/src/pyclass.rs:412:5
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

pyo3_runtime.PanicException: An error occurred while initializing class ExtendsBool
```
After this PR, this import still fails, but with a slightly cleaner, more Pythonic error:
```
TypeError: type 'bool' is not an acceptable base type
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Users/david/.virtualenvs/pyo3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pyo3_scratch/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

2944: optimize sequence conversion for list and tuple r=adamreichold a=davidhewitt
closes#2943
Avoid using `PyObject_IsInstance` for checking if lists or tuples are sequences, as we know they are always sequences.
