 Py_IS_TYPE() macro uses Py_TYPE() (GH-22341)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install -y python3-devel pkgconf-pkg-config gcc
2. printf '#include <Python.h>' > test.c
3. gcc -Wcast-qual -Werror -c test.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs python-3.10`
Actual results:
sh-5.1# gcc -Wcast-qual -Werror -c test.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs python-3.10`

Comment from my PR:
// bpo-44378: Don't use Py_TYPE() since Py_TYPE() requires a non-const
// object.
By the way, I wrote a change in Python 3.11 to convert Py_TYPE() macro into a static inline function which accepts a *const* PyObject pointer ("const PyObject*"):

But this change had to be reverted since it caused a buildbot regression (bpo-44348).
