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.
This replaces `_PyList_FromArraySteal` with `_PyList_FromStackRefSteal`.
It's functionally equivalent, but takes a `_PyStackRef` array instead of
an array of `PyObject` pointers.

`BUILD_SET` should use a borrow instead of a steal. The cleanup in `_DO_CALL`
`CONVERSION_FAILED` was incorrect.

We were not properly accounting for interpreter memory leaks at
shutdown and had two sources of leaks:
* Objects that use deferred reference counting and were reachable via
static types outlive the final GC. We now disable deferred reference
counting on all objects if we are calling the GC due to interpreter
shutdown.
* `_PyMem_FreeDelayed` did not properly check for interpreter shutdown
so we had some memory blocks that were enqueued to be freed, but
never actually freed.
* `_PyType_FinalizeIdPool` wasn't called at interpreter shutdown.
