bpo-42528: Improve the docs of most Py*_Check{,Exact} API calls (GH-23602)
I think that none of these API calls can fail, but only few of them are
documented as such. Add the sentence "This function always succeeds" (which is
the same already used e.g. by PyNumber_Check) to all of them.

Generator Objects
-----------------
Generator objects are what Python uses to implement generator iterators. They
are normally created by iterating over a function that yields values, rather
than explicitly calling :c:func:`PyGen_New` or :c:func:`PyGen_NewWithQualName`.
.. c:type:: PyGenObject
The C structure used for generator objects.
.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyGen_Type
The type object corresponding to generator objects.
.. c:function:: int PyGen_Check(PyObject *ob)
Return true if *ob* is a generator object; *ob* must not be ``NULL``. This
function always succeeds.
.. c:function:: int PyGen_CheckExact(PyObject *ob)
Return true if *ob*'s type is :c:type:`PyGen_Type`; *ob* must not be
``NULL``. This function always succeeds.
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyGen_New(PyFrameObject *frame)
Create and return a new generator object based on the *frame* object.
A reference to *frame* is stolen by this function. The argument must not be
``NULL``.
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyGen_NewWithQualName(PyFrameObject *frame, PyObject *name, PyObject *qualname)
Create and return a new generator object based on the *frame* object,
with ``__name__`` and ``__qualname__`` set to *name* and *qualname*.
A reference to *frame* is stolen by this function. The *frame* argument
must not be ``NULL``.
