Description

Getting a lot of these errors when trying to build https://github.com/MagicStack/asyncpg on Python 3.12:
```
asyncpg/pgproto/pgproto.c:40800:55: error: no member named 'ob_digit' in 'struct _longobject'
const digit* digits = ((PyLongObject*)x)->ob_digit;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^
asyncpg/pgproto/pgproto.c:40855:55: error: no member named 'ob_digit' in 'struct _longobject'
const digit* digits = ((PyLongObject*)x)->ob_digit;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^
asyncpg/pgproto/pgproto.c:41034:55: error: no member named 'ob_digit' in 'struct _longobject'
const digit* digits = ((PyLongObject*)x)->ob_digit;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^
```

I believe this can be solved by converting `((PyLongObject*)x)->ob_digit` to `((PyLongObject*)x)->long_value->ob_digit`

Research direction

Start with the Python 3.12 build errors in asyncpg/pgproto/pgproto.c, especially the lines accessing PyLongObject.ob_digit. Compare the reported access with the proposed long_value->ob_digit change, then rebuild py-pgproto on Python 3.12 and confirm those errors are resolved.
