Rename from _Py_INTERNAL_ABI_SLOT to _Py_ABI_SLOT
and define the macro using _PyABIInfo_DEFAULT.
Use the ABI slot in stdlib extension modules to enable running
a check of ABI version compatibility.
_tkinter, _tracemalloc and readline don't use the slots, hence they need
explicit handling.

* Add the c_init_default attribute which is used to initialize the C variable
if the default is not explicitly provided.
* Add the c_default_init() method which is used to derive c_default from
default if c_default is not explicitly provided.
* Explicit c_default and py_default are now almost always have precedence
over the generated value.
* Add support for bytes literals as default values.
* Improve support for str literals as default values (support non-ASCII
and non-printable characters and special characters like backslash or quotes).
* Fix support for str and bytes literals containing trigraphs, "/*" and "*/".
* Improve support for default values in converters "char" and "int(accept={str})".
* Converter "int(accept={str})" now requires 1-character string instead of
integer as default value.
* Add support for non-None default values in converter "Py_buffer": NULL,
str and bytes literals.
* Improve error handling for invalid default values.
* Rename Null to NullType for consistency.
The `Modules/hashlib.h` helper file is now removed and split into multiple files:
* `Modules/_hashlib/hashlib_buffer.[ch]` -- Utilities for getting a buffer view and handling buffer inputs.
* `Modules/_hashlib/hashlib_fetch.h` -- Utilities used when fetching a message digest from a digest-like identifier.
Currently, this file only contains common error messages as the fetching API is not yet implemented.
* `Modules/_hashlib/hashlib_mutex.h` -- Utilities for managing the lock on cryptographic hash objects.
* Cleanup imports and update module docstring.
* Simplify detection of SIMD support.
* Correctly guard `update()` cases.
* Rewrite `py_blake2b_or_s_new` and rename it to `py_blake2_new`.
* Rewrite `blake2_blake2b_copy_locked` and `py_blake2_clear`.
* Refactor computations of `digest` and `hexdigest`.
* Simplify `py_blake2b_get_name` and `py_blake2b_get_block_size`.
* Add `hacl_get_blake2_info` to extract static BLAKE-2 information.
This new helper is used by `py_blake2b_get_digest_size`, but can
be later used to expose `key_length` more easily.
OpenSSL and HACL*-based hash functions constructors now support both `data` and `string` parameters.
Previously these constructor functions inconsistently supported sometimes `data` and sometimes `string`,
while the documentation expected `data` to be given in all cases.
This replaces the existing hashlib Blake2 module with a single implementation that uses HACL\*'s Blake2b/Blake2s implementations. We added support for all the modes exposed by the Python API, including tree hashing, leaf nodes, and so on. We ported and merged all of these changes upstream in HACL\*, added test vectors based on Python's existing implementation, and exposed everything needed for hashlib.
This was joint work done with @R1kM.
See the PR for much discussion and benchmarking details. TL;DR: On many systems, 8-50% faster (!) than `libb2`, on some systems it appeared 10-20% slower than `libb2`.
