Py_REFCNT(), Py_TYPE(), Py_SIZE() and Py_IS_TYPE() functions argument
type is now "PyObject*", rather than "const PyObject*".

  • Replace also "const PyObject*" with "PyObject*" in functions:

    • _Py_strhex_impl()
    • _Py_strhex_with_sep()
    • _Py_strhex_bytes_with_sep()
  • Remove _PyObject_CAST_CONST() and _PyVarObject_CAST_CONST() macros

  • Py_IS_TYPE() can now use Py_TYPE() in its implementation

This change is backward compatible since modified macros cast their argument to PyObject*.
