gh-107211: No longer export internal functions (7) (#108425)

No longer export _PyUnicode_FromId() internal C API function.

Change comment style to "// comment" and add comment explaining why
other functions have to be exported.

Update Tools/build/generate_token.py to update Include/internal/pycore_token.h
comments.
