Partially revert commit ac46eb4: "bpo-38113: Update the Python-ast.c generator to PEP384 (pythongh-15957)". Using a module state per module instance is causing subtle practical problems. For example, the Mercurial project replaces the __import__() function to implement lazy import, whereas Python expected that "import _ast" always return a fully initialized _ast module. Add _PyAST_Fini() to clear the state at exit. The _ast module has no state (set _astmodule.m_size to 0). Remove astmodule_traverse(), astmodule_clear() and astmodule_free() functions..

"bpo-38113: Update the Python-ast.c generator to PEP384 (gh-15957)".
Using a module state per module instance is causing subtle practical
problems.
For example, the Mercurial project replaces the import() function
to implement lazy import, whereas Python expected that "import _ast"
always return a fully initialized _ast module.
Add _PyAST_Fini() to clear the state at exit.
The _ast module has no state (set _astmodule.m_size to 0). Remove
astmodule_traverse(), astmodule_clear() and astmodule_free()
functions..
(cherry picked from commit e5fbe0c)
