Add support for GraalPy (#5380)

* Initial support for GraalPy

* Mark tests that currently fail on GraalPy with xfail

* Add graalpy to CI

* Limit test deps on graalpy to available binary wheels

* Skip cmake test installed_function on GraalPy

CMake won't find libpython on GraalPy, it either fails or silently picks
CPython's libpython.

* Factor out setting function docstrings into a macro

* Try to narrow down skipped tests
