This is in preparation for real changes like #144. Now at least the code compiles cleanly and it's easier to see mistakes.

_unused_ is used for 'self' wherever the function does not use self.
assert(!args) is added in the places where METH_NOARGS is used.
assert(self) is added in a few places where self _is_ used.
In C, a narrow type is automatically extended, so those verbose suffixes
are not needed for anything.
The handling of kwargs is done in the python wrapper. The native C function
never handled kwargs, it just ignored them. IIRC, the plan was initially to
do this in the C extension, but then we realized that this is very much not
a hot path and doing in the the wrapper is just fine.
Only whitespace changes.

This is a problem in the Python C API… They should have used a union type.
One-letter name is fine for a local variable, but it seems iffy to name
a structure field like this.
Since Python 3.0 it is an alias for OSError.
They were a 1:1 mapping anyway.
We're not going to be compiling any other C code, so let's simplify
this.
systemd headers should be included using <>.
And use a single include of Python.h and define PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN
before it, so that we're using a consistent API everywhere.
