gh-115999: Specialize LOAD_SUPER_ATTR in free-threaded builds (gh-127128)

Use existing helpers to atomically modify the bytecode.  Add unit tests
to ensure specializing is happening as expected.  Add test_specialize.py
that can be used with ThreadSanitizer to detect data races.  
Fix thread safety issue with cell_set_contents().
