Add a new public PyObject_CallNoArgs() function to the C API: call a
callable Python object without any arguments.
It is the most efficient way to call a callback without any argument.
On x86-64, for example, PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL)
allocates 960 bytes on the stack per call, whereas
PyObject_CallNoArgs(func) only allocates 624 bytes per call.
It is excluded from stable ABI 3.8.
Replace private _PyObject_CallNoArg() with public
PyObject_CallNoArgs() in C extensions: _asyncio, _datetime,
_elementtree, _pickle, _tkinter and readline.
When inheriting a heap subclass from a vectorcall class that sets
`.tp_call=PyVectorcall_Call` (as recommended in PEP 590), the subclass does
not inherit `_Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL`, and thus `PyVectorcall_Call` does
not work for it.
This attempts to solve the issue by:
* always inheriting `tp_vectorcall_offset` unless `tp_call` is overridden
in the subclass
* inheriting _Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL for static types, unless `tp_call`
is overridden
* making `PyVectorcall_Call` ignore `_Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL`
This means it'll be ever more important to only call `PyVectorcall_Call`
on classes that support vectorcall. In `PyVectorcall_Call`'s intended role
as `tp_call` filler, that's not a problem.
Update PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs and _PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs
to use _PyObject_GetMethod to avoid creating a bound method object
in many cases.
On a microbenchmark of PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs calling a method on
an interpreted Python class, this optimization resulted in a 1.7x
speedup.

Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS excluding Argument Clinic generated code.
* _PyTuple_ITEMS() gives access to the tuple->ob_item field and cast the
first argument to PyTupleObject*. This internal macro is only usable if
Py_BUILD_CORE is defined.
* Replace &PyTuple_GET_ITEM(ob, 0) with _PyTuple_ITEMS(ob).
* Replace PyTuple_GET_ITEM(op, 1) with &_PyTuple_ITEMS(ob)[1].
If Py_BUILD_CORE is defined, the PyThreadState_GET() macro access
_PyRuntime which comes from the internal pycore_state.h header.
Public headers must not require internal headers.
Move PyThreadState_GET() and _PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE() from
Include/pystate.h to Include/internal/pycore_state.h, and rename
PyThreadState_GET() to _PyThreadState_GET() there.
The PyThreadState_GET() macro of pystate.h is now redefined when
pycore_state.h is included, to use the fast _PyThreadState_GET().
Changes:
* Add _PyThreadState_GET() macro
* Replace "PyThreadState_GET()->interp" with
_PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE()
* Replace PyThreadState_GET() with _PyThreadState_GET() in internal C
files (compiled with Py_BUILD_CORE defined), but keep
PyThreadState_GET() in the public header files.
* _testcapimodule.c: replace PyThreadState_GET() with
PyThreadState_Get(); the module is not compiled with Py_BUILD_CORE
defined.
* pycore_state.h now requires Py_BUILD_CORE to be defined.
The assignment of i/2 to nk is redundant because on this code path, nk is already the size of the dictionary, and i is already twice the size of the dictionary. I've replaced the store with an assertion that i/2 is nk.
