[issue37406] Disable runtime checks in release mode

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com> added the comment:

I think that the public C API should have runtime checks for its arguments, except performance sensitive functions and macros (like PyTuple_GET_ITEM). The internal C API can use just asserts.

I have a work-in-progress patch which adds tests for the public C API, including calls with invalid arguments.
