This should definitely fix the crash with Python 3.12, even when scripts are
auto-loaded (the previous fix was working only when the scripts are loaded
manually).
Python 3.12 has a bug where it crashes when you unload all the
interpreters unless you make sure to unload the first interpreter you
loaded last. For some reason, loading the eval interpreter before any
scripts also seems to prevent the issue, even if the eval interpreter is
unloaded before the other interpreters.
So this just evals an empty string at the end of initing the Python
plugin if the Python version is 3.12, to make sure the eval interpreter
is loaded first.

This fixes an issue with IRC URL given on command line when it starts with
`ircs://` or `irc6://`: the server is not created at all (only `irc://` works
fine).
The callback_read and callback_create_option functions in the scripting
APIs always get the value as a string, never as null. This means that if
the value is null, there is no way for the script to distinguish this
from an empty string for string options. This makes it impossible to
properly make options with fallback values, like the irc server and
server_default options, as far as I can see.
All the scripting languages except Tcl use that language's equivalent
for null. For JavaScript which has both null and undefined, null is
used. For Tcl, the magic null string defined in commit 197a7a01e is used
and the documentation is updated to describe that.
I tested this with these scripts:
https://gist.github.com/trygveaa/2d49c609addf9773d2ed16e15d1e3447
You can load all of those scripts and see the result with this command
(assuming you have the scripts in the current directory):
weechat -t -r "/filter add script * * script; /script load $(echo script_config.*)"

Some scripts (eg weechat-matrix) ship directories that need to be
imported from the script.
Rather than globally installing the python packages to python's
`site-packages` the directories can be installed alongside the script in
`WEECHAT_SHAREDIR/python`.
This change adds that directory to the `$PYTHONPATH` to import
successfully.
When there was a call to a hook callback during the eval, the output buffer was
cleared too late, and displayed multiple times in the buffer.
This commit clears the buffer even before we display it (this display can
trigger a hook callback).
