I tested the patch manually by injecting a fault using gdb: list items are
correctly restored on failure.

The docs also clarify the 'Interesting Example' duplicate-free enum is for
demonstration purposes.

Don't call PyErr_NewException() if an exception is set, or type_call() would
fail with an assertion error.

As PyEval_EvalFrameEx(), they may clear the current exception and so the caller
looses its exception.

(PyErr_Occurred()).

If these functions are called with an exception set, the exception may be
cleared and so the caller looses its exception.

Add also assertions to PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords() and call_function() to
check if the function succeed with no exception set, or the function failed
with an exception set.

PyObject_Repr() can removes the current exception. For example, module_repr()
calls PyErr_Clear() if calling loader.module_repr(mod) failed.

_PyDict_GetItemId() is more efficient: it only builds the Unicode string once.
Identifiers (dictionary keys) are now created at Python initialization, and if
the creation failed, Python does exit with a fatal error.

Before, PyDict_GetItemString() failure was not handled: structseq_new() could
call PyObject_GC_NewVar() with a negative size, and structseq_dealloc() could
also crash.

PyList_Append() (called by PyArena_AddPyObject()) can fail because of a
MemoryError for example.
