Victor Stinner 01af34a364 [3.13] gh-143050: Correct PyLong_FromString() to use _PyLong_Negate() (#145901) (#147437)
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 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`_
