Issue #28792: Remove aliases from _bisect

Remove aliases from the C module. Always implement bisect() and insort()
aliases in bisect.py

Remove also the "# backward compatibility" command, there is no plan to
deprecate nor remove these aliases. When keys are equal, it makes sense to use
bisect.bisect() and bisect.insort().
