Py_UTF8Mode was added to the limited API in 3.7, but it is not documented anywhere.

I wasn't sure if I should document it, but after talking with Serhiy on IRC, I now agree that the new variable should be documented.
It should be documented at:

If there are reasons of including it in the limited API, it should be documented.

PR 7143 has been closed. So is there another candidate to write the doc?

@hugovk
Py_UTF8Modeis not documented, but it is removed in 3.15, so I see no reason to document it.
