This is now an official "protected" API that can be used to write
classes that are duck-type-compatible with Future without subclassing
it.  (For that purpose I also changed isinstance(result, Future) to
check for this attribute instead.)

Hopefully Amber Brown can use this to make Twisted.Deferred compatible
with asyncio.Future.

Tests and docs are TBD. (Also there are more isinstance() checks to fix.)

Issue #27830: Add _PyObject_FastCallKeywords(): avoid the creation of a
temporary dictionary for keyword arguments.

Other changes:

* Cleanup call_function() and fast_function() (ex: rename nk to nkwargs)
* Remove now useless do_call(), replaced with _PyObject_FastCallKeywords()

This is buggy in the old email code as well, but it doesn't affect anything
there because only the default line length is ever used there.

Issue #27213: Rework CALL_FUNCTION* opcodes to produce shorter and more
efficient bytecode:

* CALL_FUNCTION now only accepts position arguments
* CALL_FUNCTION_KW accepts position arguments and keyword arguments, but keys
  of keyword arguments are packed into a constant tuple.
* CALL_FUNCTION_EX is the most generic, it expects a tuple and a dict for
  positional and keyword arguments.

CALL_FUNCTION_VAR and CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW opcodes have been removed.

2 tests of test_traceback are currently broken: skip test, the issue #28050 was
created to track the issue.

This test file is a holdover from the days before hashlib, and doesn't seem to
have anything of value in it.
