C API: Remove legacy API functions to configure Python initialization #105145
Description
The following C API functions were deprecated in Python 3.11 by issue #88279:
PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()PySys_AddWarnOption()PySys_AddXOption()PySys_HasWarnOptions()PySys_SetArgvEx()PySys_SetArgv()PySys_SetPath()Py_SetPath()Py_SetProgramName()Py_SetPythonHome()Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()_Py_SetProgramFullPath()
IMO it's now time to remove them: the new PyConfig API is available since Python 3.8: https://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/init_config.html

Oh no, too bad, I forgot to deprecate PySys_ResetWarnOptions() in Python 3.11.

Issue gh-88279 was in 2021.
I wrote it in this issue description in 2023:
What changed in that the PyConfig API is now widely available and is a better API than the deprecated one.

It seems a PEP is needed for a full replacement. You wrote PEP-741, there are objections against the basic concept of PEP-741 :(
