[libgpiod][PATCH 0/9] bindings: python: modernize C extensions

[Vincent Fazio <vfazio@gmail.com>]

This series performs some minor cleanup of the C extension modules and
migrates the module defintions to multi-phase intitialization (PEP 489).

Patch 1 makes `chip_get_line_name` consistent with other functions.

Patches 2 & 3 avoid calling back into python to perform C level object
cleanup.

Patch 4 introduces no real functional change but simplifies the code to
get the same result.

Patch 5 applies suggestions from from a utility maintained by a CPython
core developer to help modernize macro/function usage.

Patch 6 conditionally compiles support for using a standard CPython
function over a backported version bundled within the C extension.

Patches 7-9 migrate the C extensions to use multi-phase initialization
as described in PEP 489 [0]. While not strictly necessary for enabling
free-threaded builds, it makes adding support more straighforward and
sets the stage for both PEP 793 [1] which soft-deprecates PyInit_* and
PEP 803 [2] which could simplify wheel builds.

Patches have been tested against the full matrix of supported versions:
