Remove private PyLong C API functions:

  • _PyLong_AsByteArray()
  • _PyLong_DivmodNear()
  • _PyLong_Format()
  • _PyLong_Frexp()
  • _PyLong_FromByteArray()
  • _PyLong_FromBytes()
  • _PyLong_GCD()
  • _PyLong_Lshift()
  • _PyLong_Rshift()

Move these functions to the internal C API. No longer export _PyLong_FromBytes() function.

  • Issue: C API: Remove private C API functions (move them to the internal C API) #106320
