Add auto-generated `ctypes` bindings to C API (#16067)

* Add auto-generated `ctypes` bindings to C API

This is similar to how Python exposes its own C API through `ctypes` as
`ctypes.pythonapi`.  It's unlikely to be immediately useful as a feature
for downstream users, but it simplifies the process of us testing our
own code from Python space.

I had originally hoped / thought that `numba` would support calling
these `ctypes` functions, but while `numba` (as of current version 0.65)
does have support for calling `ctypes` functions defined purely in terms
of primitive non-pointer integral types, it doesn't yet support
`ctypes.py_object` or arbitrary pointers.

* Remove unnecessary fast path
