Improve the readability and maintainability of test_capi using the AC #104469

Description

@corona10

Currently, most of test_capi modules do not use the Argument Clinic tool.
As a result, we manually implement docstrings containing explanations for the test codes and handle parameter parsing manually: PyArg_ParseTuple .
To maintain code consistency in test_capi, I suggest using the Argument Clinic tool.

While some might criticize this as code churn, I believe it is necessary for maintaining consistent test code writing practices. I will attach a sample PR to illustrate how it can help improve the understanding of the test code. I hope this will help clarify the rationale behind it.
