Victor Stinner 8ba4714611 gh-106320: Remove private AC converter functions (#108505)
Move these private functions to the internal C API
(pycore_abstract.h):

* _Py_convert_optional_to_ssize_t()
* _PyNumber_Index()

Argument Clinic now emits #include "pycore_abstract.h" when these
functions are used.

The parser of the c-analyzer tool now uses a list of files which use
the limited C API, rather than a list of files using the internal C
API.

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`_
