Changelog:
==========
- Removed a nasty memory leak that would cause every number returned
from 'fastnumbers' to never get freed.
- Added 'check_real', 'check_float', 'check_int', and 'check_intlike'
to provide a more flexible interface than 'isreal', 'isfloat', 'isint',
and 'isintlike', respectively
- Added 'try_real', 'try_float', 'try_int', and 'try_forceint'
to provide a more flexible interface than 'fast_real', 'fast_float', 'fast_int',
and 'fast_forceint', respectively
- Added Python 3.11 support
- 'query_type' now sets 'allow_underscores' to 'False' by default
- Complete rewrite into C++
- All functions now use use 'METH_FASTCALL' to pass arguments from
Python to C
- Always parse integers using 'int64_t' instead of using 'long' to ensure
we can always quickly parse at least 18 digits
- Parsing floats now always uses the fast and robust parser
['fast_float::from_chars()'](https://github.com/fastfloat/fast_float)
- 'isreal', 'isfloat', 'isint', and 'isintlike' are deprecated in
favor of 'check_real', 'check_float', 'check_int', and 'check_intlike',
though they will never be removed from the API
- 'fast_real', 'fast_float', 'fast_int', and 'fast_forceint' are deprecated in
favor of 'try_real', 'try_float', 'try_int', and 'try_forceint',
though they will never be removed from the API
- Support for Python 3.6
- Removed the undocumented 'dig', 'max_exp', 'min_exp', and 'max_int_len'
module-level constants, as they are now meaningless
