[issue21101] Extend the PyDict C API to handle cases where the hash value in known

Originally, I was going to suggest them as internal functions, but the variety of use cases in the standard library suggested that third-party C extensions would benefit as well.  

Since this isn't functionality a user can create themselves, a public function is the only way to expose this service.
