[issue17159] Remove explicit type check from inspect.Signature.from_function()

Yes. The "inheritance" of Cython's function type from PyCFunction is a pure
implementation detail of the object struct layout that is not otherwise
visible in any way. Specifically, there is no base type. The only reason
for the identical (start of the) struct layout is to allow reusing some of
the normal PyCFunction C-API functions on it instead of having to copy them
into Cython.

Cython's functions are neither instances of PyFunction nor of PyCFunction.
They implement the interface of PyFunction, though.

This change is redundant since BuiltinFunctionType (which isbuiltin() tests
for) is already in _NonUserDefinedCallables, which is tested for right
afterwards.
