• gh-90120: Specify UTF-8 encoding in PyModule_AddString{Constant,Macro} docs #131597

[anntzer]

The documentation for PyModule_AddString{Constant,Macro} does not specify the encoding used. Checking the source shows that these simply call PyUnicode_FromString and thus use utf8, but perhaps this could be made explicit.
