A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.
This closes patch #101664.

- Use PyObject_RichCompare*() where possible: when comparing
keyword arguments, in _PyEval_SliceIndex(), and of course in
cmp_outcome().
Unrelated stuff:
- Removed all trailing whitespace.
- Folded some long lines.
message, and tries to make the messages more consistent and helpful when
the wrong number of arguments or duplicate keyword arguments are supplied.
Comes with more tests for test_extcall.py and and an update to an error
message in test/output/test_pyexpat.
re-initializing Python (Py_Finalize() followed by Py_Initialize()) to
blow up quickly. With the DECREF removed I can't get it to fail any
more. (Except it still leaks, but that's probably a separate issue.)
1) "from M import X" now works even if M is not a real module; it's
basically a getattr() operation with AttributeError exceptions
changed into ImportError.
2) "from M import *" now looks for M.__all__ to decide which names to
import; if M.__all__ doesn't exist, it uses M.__dict__.keys() but
filters out names starting with '_' as before. Whether or not
__all__ exists, there's no restriction on the type of M.
- Make error messages from issubclass() and isinstance() a bit more
descriptive (Ping, modified by Guido)
- Couple of tiny fixes to other docstrings (Ping)
- Get rid of trailing whitespace (Guido)

an empty keywords dictionary (via apply() or the extended call syntax),
the keywords dict should be ignored. If the keywords dict is not empty,
TypeError should be raised. (Between the restructuring of the call
machinery and this patch, an empty dict in this situation would trigger
a SystemError via PyErr_BadInternalCall().)
Added regression tests to detect errors for this.
