    Refactor some longobject internals:  PyLong_AsDouble and _PyLong_AsScaledDouble
    (the latter renamed to _PyLong_Frexp) now use the same core code.  The
    exponent produced by _PyLong_Frexp now has type Py_ssize_t instead of the
    previously used int, and no longer needs scaling by PyLong_SHIFT.  This
    frees the math module from having to know anything about the PyLong
    implementation.  This closes issue #5576.
