bpo-43916: Add Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION type flag (GH-25721)

Add a new Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION type flag to disallow
creating type instances: set tp_new to NULL and don't create the
"__new__" key in the type dictionary.

The flag is set automatically on static types if tp_base is NULL or
&PyBaseObject_Type and tp_new is NULL.

Use the flag on the following types:

* _curses.ncurses_version type
* _curses_panel.panel
* _tkinter.Tcl_Obj
* _tkinter.tkapp
* _tkinter.tktimertoken
* _xxsubinterpretersmodule.ChannelID
* sys.flags type
* sys.getwindowsversion() type
* sys.version_info type

Update MyStr example in the C API documentation to use
Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION.

Add _PyStructSequence_InitType() function to create a structseq type
with the Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION flag set.

type_new() calls _PyType_CheckConsistency() at exit.

Disallow creating instances of the type: set
:c:member:`~PyTypeObject.tp_new` to NULL and don't create the ``__new__``

The flag must be set before creating the type, not after. For example, it
must be set before :c:func:`PyType_Ready` is called on the type.
The flag is set automatically on :ref:`static types <static-types>` if
