sys.setrecursionlimit() now raises RecursionError

Issue #25274: sys.setrecursionlimit() now raises a RecursionError if the new
recursion limit is too low depending at the current recursion depth. Modify
also the "lower-water mark" formula to make it monotonic. This mark is used to
decide when the overflowed flag of the thread state is reset.

/* Issue #25274: When the recursion depth hits the recursion limit in
_Py_CheckRecursiveCall(), the overflowed flag of the thread state is
set to 1 and a RecursionError is raised. The overflowed flag is reset
to 0 when the recursion depth goes below the low-water mark: see

Reject too low new limit if the current recursion depth is higher than
the new low-water mark. Otherwise it may not be possible anymore to
reset the overflowed flag to 0. */
