gh-110803: Reorganize docs for what PyType_Slot doesn't cover (GH-110813)
* gh-110803: Reorganize docs for what PyType_Slot doesn't cover
- Cover the offset fields first
- Mention the old alternative for MANAGED flags, which is needed
to support older Pythons
- De-emphasize the internal flags: use an inline list.
- Add a note to PyMemberDef saying what to do with it
* Remove an older draft...

This checks the bases of of a type created using the FromSpec
API to inherit the bases metaclasses. The metaclass's alloc
function will be called as is done in `tp_new` for classes
created in Python.

Added a new stable API function ``PyType_FromMetaclass``, which mirrors
the behavior of ``PyType_FromModuleAndSpec`` except that it takes an
additional metaclass argument. This is, e.g., useful for language
binding tools that need to store additional information in the type
object.
I think that none of these API calls can fail, but only few of them are
documented as such. Add the sentence "This function always succeeds" (which is
the same already used e.g. by PyNumber_Check) to all of them.
* There were leaks if Py_tp_bases is used more than once or if some call is
failed before setting tp_bases.
* There was a crash if the bases argument or the Py_tp_bases slot is not a tuple.
* The documentation was not accurate.
Module C state is now accessible from C-defined heap type methods (PEP 573).

along with some introductory prose.
