bpo-42412: Fix possible leaks and check arguments in PyType_FromModuleAndSpec() (GH-23410)

* There were leaks if Py_tp_bases is used more than once or if some call is
  failed before setting tp_bases.
* There was a crash if the bases argument or the Py_tp_bases slot is not a tuple.
* The documentation was not accurate.
(cherry picked from commit 1db7639)
