The `zip_next` function uses a common optimization technique for methods
that generate tuples. The iterator maintains an internal reference to
the returned tuple. When the method is called again, it checks if the
internal tuple's reference count is 1. If so, the tuple can be reused.
However, this approach is not safe under the free-threading build:
after checking the reference count, another thread may perform the same
check and also reuse the tuple. This can result in a double decref on
the items of the replaced tuple and a double incref (memory leak) on
the items of the tuple being set.
This adds a function, `_PyObject_IsUniquelyReferenced` that
encapsulates the stricter logic necessary for the free-threaded build:
the internal tuple must be owned by the current thread, have a local
refcount of one, and a shared refcount of zero.
`Py_DECREF` and `PyStackRef_CLOSE` are now implemented as macros in the
free-threaded build in ceval.c. There are two motivations;
* MSVC has problems inlining functions in ceval.c in the PGO build.
* We will want to mark escaping calls in order to spill the stack
pointer in ceval.c and we will want to do this around `_Py_Dealloc`
(or `_Py_MergeZeroLocalRefcount` or `_Py_DecRefShared`), not around
the entire `Py_DECREF` or `PyStackRef_CLOSE` call.
The free-threaded GC now visits interpreter stacks to keep objects
that use deferred reference counting alive.
Interpreter frames are zero initialized in the free-threaded GC so
that the GC doesn't see garbage data. This is a temporary measure
until stack spilling around escaping calls is implemented.

As of 529a160 (gh-118204), building with HAVE_DYNAMIC_LOADING stopped working. This is a minimal fix just to get builds working again. There are actually a number of long-standing deficiencies with HAVE_DYNAMIC_LOADING builds that need to be resolved separately.
There were a still a number of gaps in the tests, including not looking
at all the builtin types and not checking wrappers in subinterpreters
that weren't in the main interpreter. This fixes all that.
I considered incorporating the names of the PyTypeObject fields
(a la gh-122866), but figured doing so doesn't add much value.
This replaces `_PyList_FromArraySteal` with `_PyList_FromStackRefSteal`.
It's functionally equivalent, but takes a `_PyStackRef` array instead of
an array of `PyObject` pointers.

The free-threaded build partially stores heap type reference counts in
distributed manner in per-thread arrays. This avoids reference count
contention when creating or destroying instances.

* gh-120974: Make _asyncio._leave_task atomic in the free-threaded build
Update `_PyDict_DelItemIf` to allow for an argument to be passed to the
predicate.
This refactors asyncio to use the common freelist helper functions and
macros. As a side effect, the freelist for _asyncio.Future is now
re-enabled in the free-threaded build.
This combines and updates our freelist handling to use a consistent
implementation. Objects in the freelist are linked together using the
first word of memory block.
If configured with freelists disabled, these operations are essentially
no-ops.
