Add C API for importing an attribute from a module#93741

Description

@serhiy-storchaka

It is common (more than 30 cases) in the C code to access a function or a variable from other module. For example:

functools=PyImport_ImportModule("functools"); if (!functools) goto error; st->partial=PyObject_GetAttrString(functools, "partial"); Py_CLEAR(functools);

I propose to add a private helper function which combines PyImport_ImportModule() and PyObject_GetAttrString().

st->partial=_PyImport_GetModuleAttrString("functools", "partial");

It will save 4-6 lines of code and a variable on every use.
