bpo-35983: skip trashcan for subclasses (GH-11841)

Add new trashcan macros to deal with a double deallocation that could occur when the `tp_dealloc` of a subclass calls the `tp_dealloc` of a base class and that base class uses the trashcan mechanism.

When deallocating a container object, it's possible to trigger an unbounded
chain of deallocations, as each Py_DECREF in turn drops the refcount on "the
next" object in the chain to 0. This can easily lead to stack faults, and
next" object in the chain to 0. This can easily lead to stack overflows,
especially in threads (which typically have less stack space to work with).
A container object that participates in cyclic gc can avoid this by
bracketing the body of its tp_dealloc function with a pair of macros:

may have been added to the list of deferred deallocations. In effect, a
chain of N deallocations is broken into (N-1)/(PyTrash_UNWIND_LEVEL-1) pieces,
with the call stack never exceeding a depth of PyTrash_UNWIND_LEVEL.
Since the tp_dealloc of a subclass typically calls the tp_dealloc of the base
class, we need to ensure that the trashcan is only triggered on the tp_dealloc
of the actual class being deallocated. Otherwise we might end up with a
partially-deallocated object. To check this, the tp_dealloc function must be
passed as second argument to Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN().
