Is it safe to assert that we won't change the ABI with an IS_PYTHON3 or
similar macro?

If so, then these are OK (in that respect, I've not done a full
review), but if it is likely that we will add python3 only helper
functions to one or other of the py*-util libraries, then we need to
keep the distinct ABI files for 2 and 3, but not for 3.5, 3.6 et al.
