Serhiy Storchaka 9f69a58623 gh-133767: Fix use-after-free in the unicode-escape decoder with an error handler (GH-129648)
If the error handler is used, a new bytes object is created to set as
the object attribute of UnicodeDecodeError, and that bytes object then
replaces the original data. A pointer to the decoded data will became invalid
after destroying that temporary bytes object. So we need other way to return
the first invalid escape from _PyUnicode_DecodeUnicodeEscapeInternal().

_PyBytes_DecodeEscape() does not have such issue, because it does not
use the error handlers registry, but it should be changed for compatibility
with _PyUnicode_DecodeUnicodeEscapeInternal().

The Python C API
================

The C API is divided into these sections:

1. ``Include/``: Limited API
2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details
3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can
   change between minor releases
4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API

Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_
