patch 9.1.0724: if_python: link error with python 3.13 and stable ABI
Problem: if_python: link error with python 3.13 and stable ABI
(zdohnal)
Solution: Use the correct stable APIs Py_IncRef and Py_DecRef instead
(Yee Cheng Chin)
This fixes #15460 properly. There was an attempt to fix it in v9.1.0668,
but it did it by manually copy and pasting definitions from Python 3.13
headers, which is problematic as it makes Vim dependent on low-level
implementation details which are subject to change. That change also
pulls in dependencies to private APIs (`_Py_IncRef`) which is a very bad
idea as the next version of Python could very well remove that.
The core issue was simply that `Py_INCREF` and similar functions are not
part of the stable API. We are supposed to be using `Py_IncRef` instead
which performs null-check (similar to `Py_XINCREF`) and is available as
a linkable function. We simply need to call it instead of the macro.
We simply remap `Py_INCREF` (and friends) to the function version in
stable API similar to how we mapped other functions.
