bpo-37645: add new function _PyObject_FunctionStr() (GH-14890)



Additional note: the `method_check_args` function in `Objects/descrobject.c` is written in such a way that it applies to all kinds of descriptors. In particular, a future re-implementation of `wrapper_descriptor` could use that code.
