Test 15-bit digit case for PyLong's in CI? #138336

Description

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

It seems, all CI jobs run tests with --enable-big-digits=30 configure option (i.e. default). Other possible case (=15 bits) is not tested. Maybe there is some build bot, but it's not obvious which one ;-)

See #30306 (comment) Nowadays I don't see Gentoo bots and it seems that "Github Actions: Test / Windows (x86)" is using 30-bit digits, e.g. https://github.com/python/cpython/actions/runs/17363314372/job/49286316737

From prior discussion in #89732 it seems that 15-bit case does make sense for 32-bit machines, but it's not the situation right now: 30-bit is unconditional default.

Lets at least test this case in Github Actions, if it's supported!

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
