[issue43956] C-API: Incorrect default value for Py_SetProgramName

It is unclear to me what is holding back the proposed pull request. Is it 
simply waiting for someone from docs@python to take a look, or did it fall off 
the radar of vstinner in his related activities to deprecate the legacy API?

[issue43956] C-API: Incorrect default value for Py_SetProgramName

[Jouke Witteveen]

New submission from Jouke Witteveen :

The default program name is hardcoded in 
Python/initconfig.c:config_init_program_name. It is "python" on Windows, and 
"python3" elsewhere. The documentation currently suggests that it is "python" 
everywhere.

Additionally, the documentation currently says:

> The argument should point to a zero-terminated wide character string in 
> static storage whose contents will not change for the duration of the 
> program’s execution.

The code, however, duplicates the string, so I am not sure this is true.
