Follow-up of bpo-32086, bpo-32096 and "[Python-Dev] Python initialization and embedded Python" thread:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2017-November/150605.html

I propose to explicitly list functions that can be safetely called before Py_Initialize(). This safety warranty must be part of the C API.

Maybe we should even test all tests function in test_capi using Programs/_testembed, as we did for Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_SetProgramName() in commit 9e87e7776f7ace66baaf7247233afdabd00c2b44 ("pre_initialization_api" test).

Attached PR adds proposed documentation. It also documents "global configuration variables" like Py_DebugFlag.
