We don't need this line, right?

Oops, right. I removed this useless assignment.
My intent was to get a different error message for underflow (< 0) or overflow (> 0). But in fact, the same error message for all cases is just fine.

Hum, this PR changes the exception type for large float. Patched: Python 3.6: |

Ahh, yes. And now it could accept small float while not the case before. So still need to call "PyArg_Parse" and catch OverflowError then. |

Needed updating the chr() documentation an an entry in the What's New document, in the section "Porting to 3.7".

Use 2**1000. It is possible that once Python will run platform with 128-bit C long.

It is better to use PyLongAsLongAndOverflow().

"catches" -- this is an implementation detail. And I think it is better to not raise and catch it.
chr() now catchs OverflowError and raises a ValueError exception
instead.
