gh-129987: Selectively re-enable SLP autovectorization of _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault (#132530)

Browse source 
Only disable SLP autovectorization of `_PyEval_EvalFrameDefault` on newer
GCCs, as the optimization bug seems to exist only on GCC 12 and later, and
before GCC 9 disabling the optimization has a dramatic performance impact.
