Description
Feature or enhancement
The ABI files Doc/data/python3.*.abi contain file names and line number information. The fields lead to extra noise every time the file is updated. I believe that the information is not needed to check ABI changes. abidw has an option --no-show-locs to suppress location information.

Research direction
Start by locating how Doc/data/python3.*.abi are generated and where abidw is invoked; the issue identifies abidw --no-show-locs as the relevant option. Done means regenerated ABI files omit file names and line numbers while still supporting ABI change checks.
