In the limited C API version 3.11 and newer, the following functions
no longer cast their object pointer argument with _PyObject_CAST() or
_PyObject_CAST_CONST():

  • Py_REFCNT(), Py_TYPE(), Py_SIZE()
  • Py_SET_REFCNT(), Py_SET_TYPE(), Py_SET_SIZE()
  • Py_IS_TYPE()
  • Py_INCREF(), Py_DECREF()
  • Py_XINCREF(), Py_XDECREF()
  • Py_NewRef(), Py_XNewRef()
  • PyObject_TypeCheck()
  • PyType_Check()
  • PyType_CheckExact()

Split Py_DECREF() implementation in 3 versions to make the code more
readable.

Update the xxlimited.c extension, which uses the limited C API
version 3.11, to pass PyObject* to these functions.

@erlend-aasland: I'm not sure about this change, so I created a draft PR. It's a part of the PEP 670 implementation.
