[issue26098] PEP 510: Specialize functions with guards

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

Recently, some people asked me for an update for my FAT Python project. So I rebased this change I wrote 1 year 1/2 and adapted it for the new code base:

* I renamed test_pep510.py to test_func_specialize.py
* I removed the useless PyFunction_Check() macro
* I changed the guard check prototype to use the new FASTCALL calling convention: (PyObject **args, Py_ssize_t nargs, PyObject *kwnames: tuple)
* I patched _PyFunction_FastCallDict() *and* PyFunction_FastCallKeywords() to check guards and call specified code if guards succeeded

The PEP 510 is not accepted, so the implementation is still a work-in-progress (WIP) and must not be merged.
