check_recursion_depth.py: script using Python functions and C function (functools.partial) to check the recursion depth.

Example with Python 3.6:

haypo@selma$ ./python check_recursion_depth.py # unpatched got: 148, expected: 100

haypo@selma$ ./python check_recursion_depth.py # patched got: 100, expected: 100

Maybe we need "proxies" in _testcapi for each kind of function, a function taking a callback and calling this function. Function types:

• C function, METH_NOARGS
• C function, METH_O
• C function, METH_VARRGS
• C function, METH_VARRGS | METH_KEYWORDS
• C function, METH_FASTCALL
• Python function
• Maybe even most common C functions to call functions: PyObject_Call(), _PyObject_FastCallDict(), _PyObject_FastCallKeywords(), etc.
