We may change PyFile_FromString() to call fclose() when the file is
closed explicitly (call its close() method), but it may break backward
compatibility. I prefer to document the behaviour instead.

PyFile_FromString() didn't change in Python 2.7.
I changed PyFile_FromFile() in Python 2.7 to fix the issue #7732.

Issue #7732: Fix a crash on importing a module if a directory has the same name
than a Python module (e.g. "__init__.py"): don't close the file twice.
PyFile_FromFile() does also close the file if PyString_FromString() failed. It
did already close the file on fill_file_fields() error (e.g. if the file is a
directory).
