It is *not* OK to have a "test.support.HAVE_DOCSTRINGS" flag that is true under -OO, nor a requires_docstrings decorator that still attempts to run the test under those conditions.

Issue 19330 updated them so their meaning matched their names and the surrounding comments, but they were apparently being used instead to refer to a specific kind of CPython build.

A more logical name for such a feature would be HAVE_C_DOCSTRINGS and requires_c_docstrings.
