[issue20395] Extract generated clinic code in Modules/_pickle.c to separate file

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Argument Clinic had added about half-thousand lines of code to Modules/_pickle.c. This generated code is mixed with handwritten code. Last 8 changes of Modules/_pickle.c are caused by Argument Clinic evolution, and I afraid that many future Argument Clinic changes will change Modules/_pickle.c too.

The proposed patch extracts generated clinic code in separate file to prevent or decrease code churn in future. It decreases the size of Modules/_pickle.c by 450 lines.
