gh-108765: Python.h no longer includes <ctype.h>

[vstinner]

Remove <ctype.h> in C files which don't use it; only sre.c and _decimal.c still use it.

Remove _PY_PORT_CTYPE_UTF8_ISSUE code from pyport.h:

• Code added by commit b5047fd in 2004 for MacOSX and FreeBSD.
• Test removed by commit 52ddaef in 2007, since Python str type now uses locale independent functions like Py_ISALPHA() and Py_TOLOWER() and the Unicode database.

Modules/_sre/sre.c replaces _PY_PORT_CTYPE_UTF8_ISSUE with new functions:

• sre_isalnum()
• sre_tolower()
• sre_toupper()

Remove unused includes:

• _localemodule.c: remove <stdio.h>.
• getargs.c: remove <float.h>.
• dynload_win.c: remove <direct.h>, it no longer calls _getcwd() since commit fb1f68e (in 2001).

• Issue: C API: Cleanup header files #108765

I merged my PR.

If it causes too many trouble in 3rd party C extensions (require to update too many C extensions before Python 3.13 beta1), I can make this change conditional only in the limited C API version 3.13.
