plpython: Streamline initialization

The initialization of PL/Python (the Python interpreter, the global
state, the plpy module) was arranged confusingly across different
functions with unclear and confusing boundaries.  For example,
PLy_init_interp() said "Initialize the Python interpreter ..." but it
didn't actually do this, and PLy_init_plpy() said "initialize plpy
module" but it didn't do that either.  After this change, all the
global initialization is called directly from _PG_init(), and the plpy
module initialization is all called from its registered initialization
function PyInit_plpy().
