gh-104310: Rename the New Function in importlib.util (gh-105255)

The original name wasn't as clear as it could have been. This change includes the following:

* rename the function
* change the default value for "disable_check" to False
* add clues to the docstring that folks should probably not use the function

+In the beta 1 release we added a utility function for extension module
+authors, to use when testing their module for support in multiple
+interpreters or under a per-interpreter GIL.  The name of that function has
+changed from ``allowing_all_extensions`` to
+``_incompatible_extension_module_restrictions``.  The default for the
+"disable_check" argument has change from ``True`` to ``False``, to better
+match the new function name.
