Issue #28915: Without parenthesis, _PyObject_CallMethodId() avoids the creation
a temporary tuple, and so is more efficient.

Issue #28915: Use _Py_VaBuildStack() to build a C array of PyObject* and then
use _PyObject_FastCall().

The function has a special case if the stack only contains one parameter and
the parameter is a tuple: "unpack" the tuple of arguments in this case.

Issue #28915: Similar to Py_VaBuildValue(), but work on a C array of PyObject*,
instead of creating a tuple.

Issue #28915: Py_ssize_t type is better for indexes. The compiler might emit
more efficient code for i++. Py_ssize_t is the type of a PyTuple index for
example.

Replace also "int endchar" with "char endchar".

Issue #28915: Add _PyObject_CallFunctionVa() helper to factorize code of
functions:

* PyObject_CallFunction()
* _PyObject_CallFunction_SizeT()
* callmethod()

Issue #28915: Add _PyObject_FastCallVa() helper to factorize code of functions:

* PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs()
* PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs()
* _PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs()

Inline objargs_mkstack() into _PyObject_FastCallVa(), remove
objargs_mkstack().
