Remove also the --limited command line option. Now the limited C API is only used if the source code contains "#define Py_LIMITED_API".

I converted locally multiple C extensions to the limited C API. Since the limited C API is now automatically enabled by "#define Py_LIMITED_API", in fact, the --limited command line option is no longer needed. It "just works" :-)

Please do not remove the --limited command line option. It is very conventional for testing. I couldn't do so much without it.

The --limited command-line option is convenient for testing purposed, but the approach proposed here is convenient for the build system 🤔

I don't have a strong opinion either way. I don't see any harm in keeping it, if Serhiy prefers to

Yeah, of course you can have both; Argument Clinic can try to autodetect it, and you can override it using the CLI.

If you need it, sure, I can keep it. It's just that for my needs, I didn't use it anymore. I was easier to remove it rather document it :-D

I'm not sure that this PR title. Usage of the Limited C API is already determined automatically in the main branch, I did it in a previous change. This PR is more about documenting my recent AC work.

You could left it undocumented if only I use it. 😄

I prefer to document it. Maybe I can add a note: "option reserved to Serhiy's private usage" 🤣

I changed it again ;)

Sure, without the code changes, and only the documentation change remaining, it makes sense to title it as a documentation change ;)
