gh-85283: Add PyMem_RawMalloc() to the limited C API (#108570)
Add PyMem_RawMalloc(), PyMem_RawCalloc(), PyMem_RawRealloc() and
PyMem_RawFree() to the limited C API.

These functions were added by Python 3.4 and are needed to port
stdlib extensions to the limited C API, like grp and pwd.

The Python C API
================

The C API is divided into these sections:

1. ``Include/``: Limited API
2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details
3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can
   change between minor releases
4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API

Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_
