[issue5463] Remove deprecated features from struct module

Thanks!  Committed your patch in r70497.

I think _PY_STRUCT_RANGE_CHECKING can also be removed from the module and 
the tests (treated as though it's 1 throughout).  In theory there could be 
people using it, but it's not documented and the leading underscore in the 
name clearly indicates that its supposed to be private, so I think it's 
safe to remove.  It looks like it was there just to enable some extra 
tests (tests that were broken with earlier versions of the struct module 
thanks to struct bugs).

I agree that we should bump the version number once we're done here.

I really appreciate this work:  the struct module has been in need of 
cleanup for a while.  Thank you again.
