[New-bugs-announce] [issue17917] use PyModule_AddIntMacro() instead of PyModule_AddIntConstant() when applicable

[Charles-François Natali]

New submission from Charles-François Natali:

In many cases, PyModule_AddIntMacro() could be used instead of PyModule_AddIntConstant(), e.g. in socketmodule.c and posixmodule.c:

PyModule_AddIntMacro(m, AF_INET6);

vs (currently)

PyModule_AddIntConstant(m, "AF_INET6", AF_INET6);

It reduces the possibility of typo and is less verbose.
