When Python is built in debug mode:
* long_alloc() now initializes digits with a pattern to detect usage of
uninitialized digits.
* _PyLong_CompactValue() now makes sure that the digit is zero when the
sign is zero.
* PyLongWriter_Finish() now raises SystemError if it detects uninitialized
digits

The long_from_string_base() might return a small integer, when the
_pylong.py is used to do conversion. Hence, we must be careful here to
not smash it "small int" bit by using the _PyLong_FlipSign().

The implementation of `PyLong_FromLong()`, `PyLong_FromLongLong()` and `PyLong_FromSsize_t()`
are now handled by a common macro `PYLONG_FROM_INT` which contains fast paths depending on the
size of the integer to convert. Consequently, `PyLong_FromSsize_t()` for medium-sized integers is faster
by roughly 25%.

* Split long.c tests of _testcapi into two parts: limited C API tests
in _testlimitedcapi and non-limited C API tests in _testcapi.
* Move testcapi_long.h from Modules/_testcapi/ to
Modules/_testlimitedcapi/.
* Add MODULE__TESTLIMITEDCAPI_DEPS to Makefile.pre.in.
This expands the examples to cover both realistic use cases for the API.
I noticed thing in the test that could be done better so I added those as well: We need to guarantee that all bytes of the result are overwritten and that too many are not written. Tests now pre-fills the result with data in order to ensure that.
