[issue34696] PyByteArray_FromObject() has undocumented (and untested) behavior

[Zackery Spytz]

New submission from Zackery Spytz <zspytz at gmail.com>:

The documentation states that PyByteArray_FromObject() creates a bytearray object from an object that implements the buffer protocol, but PyByteArray_FromObject() simply calls the bytearray constructor with its argument (the buffer protocol part is not enforced).

This was mentioned in #26759. Either the documentation or the behavior should be changed.
