Currently, the _testcapi C extension is partially built with the limited C API and partially with the non-limited C API. It can lead to some confusion: which API is being tested?

I proposed to create a new _testlimitedcapi extension which is only built with the limited C API. It can only access to the limited C API and so there is a lower risk to test the non-limited C API by mistake.
