[New-bugs-announce] [issue40428] [C API] Move PyXXX_ClearFreeLists() functions to the internal C API

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org>:

The following C functions are implementation details and should not be called directly:

- PyAsyncGen_ClearFreeLists()
- PyContext_ClearFreeList()
- PyDict_ClearFreeList()
- PyFloat_ClearFreeList()
- PyFrame_ClearFreeList()
- PyList_ClearFreeList()
- PySet_ClearFreeList()
- PyTuple_ClearFreeList()

To call them all at once, simply call explicitly PyGC_Collect().

Attached PR move these functions to the internal C API and stop to export them.
