Moving it valuable with a per-interpreter GIL. However, it is also useful without one, since it allows us to identify refleaks within a single interpreter or where references are escaping an interpreter. This becomes more important as we move the obmalloc state to PyInterpreterState.

The essentially eliminates the global variable, with the associated benefits. This is also a precursor to isolating this bit of state to PyInterpreterState.
Folks that currently read _Py_RefTotal directly would have to start using _Py_GetGlobalRefTotal() instead.

It doesn't make sense to use multi-phase init for these modules. Using a per-interpreter "m_copy" (instead of PyModuleDef.m_base.m_copy) makes this work okay. (This came up while working on gh-101660.)
Note that we might instead end up disallowing re-load for sys/builtins since they are so special.

This change is almost entirely moving code around and hiding import state behind internal API. We introduce no changes to behavior, nor to non-internal API. (Since there was already going to be a lot of churn, I took this as an opportunity to re-organize import.c into topically-grouped sections of code.) The motivation is to simplify a number of upcoming changes.
Specific changes:
* move existing import-related code to import.c, wherever possible
* add internal API for interacting with import state (both global and per-interpreter)
* use only API outside of import.c (to limit churn there when changing the location, etc.)
* consolidate the import-related state of PyInterpreterState into a single struct field (this changes layout slightly)
* add macros for import state in import.c (to simplify changing the location)
* group code in import.c into sections
*remove _PyState_AddModule()
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/101758
* Make sure that the current exception is always normalized.
* Remove redundant type and traceback fields for the current exception.
* Add new API functions: PyErr_GetRaisedException, PyErr_SetRaisedException
* Add new API functions: PyException_GetArgs, PyException_SetArgs
The GILState API (PEP 311) implementation from 2003 made the assumption that only one thread state would ever be used for any given OS thread, explicitly disregarding the case of subinterpreters. However, PyThreadState_Swap() still facilitated switching between subinterpreters, meaning the "current" thread state (holding the GIL), and the GILState thread state could end up out of sync, causing problems (including crashes).
This change addresses the issue by keeping the two in sync in PyThreadState_Swap(). I verified the fix against gh-99040.
Note that the other GILState-subinterpreter incompatibility (with autoInterpreterState) is not resolved here.

A PyThreadState can be in one of many states in its lifecycle, represented by some status value. Those statuses haven't been particularly clear, so we're addressing that here. Specifically:
* made the distinct lifecycle statuses clear on PyThreadState
* identified expectations of how various lifecycle-related functions relate to status
* noted the various places where those expectations don't match the actual behavior
At some point we'll need to address the mismatches.
(This change also includes some cleanup.)
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/59956
We've factored out a struct from the two PyThreadState fields. This accomplishes two things:
* make it clear that the trashcan-related code doesn't need any other parts of PyThreadState
* allows us to use the trashcan mechanism even when there isn't a "current" thread state
We still expect the caller to hold the GIL.

This is a follow-up to gh-101161. The objective is to make it easier to read Python/pystate.c by grouping the functions there in a consistent way. This exclusively involves moving code around and adding various kinds of comments.
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/59956
The objective of this change is to help make the GILState-related code easier to understand. This mostly involves moving code around and some semantically equivalent refactors. However, there are a also a small number of slight changes in structure and behavior:
* tstate_current is moved out of _PyRuntimeState.gilstate
* autoTSSkey is moved out of _PyRuntimeState.gilstate
* autoTSSkey is initialized earlier
* autoTSSkey is re-initialized (after fork) earlier
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/59956
* Add API to allow extensions to set callback function on creation and destruction of PyCodeObject

The global allocators were stored in 3 static global variables: _PyMem_Raw, _PyMem, and _PyObject. State for the "small block" allocator was stored in another 13. That makes a total of 16 global variables. We are moving all 16 to the _PyRuntimeState struct as part of the work for gh-81057. (If PEP 684 is accepted then we will follow up by moving them all to PyInterpreterState.)
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/81057
* Adds EXIT_INTERPRETER instruction to exit PyEval_EvalDefault()
* Simplifies RETURN_VALUE, YIELD_VALUE and RETURN_GENERATOR instructions as they no longer need to check for entry frames.

This change does the following:
1. change the argument to a new `_PyInterpreterConfig` struct
2. rename the function to `_Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig()`, inspired by `Py_InitializeFromConfig()` (takes a `_PyInterpreterConfig` instead of `isolated_subinterpreter`)
3. split up the boolean `isolated_subinterpreter` into the corresponding multiple granular settings
* allow_fork
* allow_subprocess
* allow_threads
4. add `PyInterpreterState.feature_flags` to store those settings
5. add a function for checking if a feature is enabled on an opaque `PyInterpreterState *`
6. drop `PyConfig._isolated_interpreter`
The existing default (see `Py_NewInterpeter()` and `Py_Initialize*()`) allows fork, subprocess, and threads and the optional "isolated" interpreter (see the `_xxsubinterpreters` module) disables all three. None of that changes here; the defaults are preserved.
Note that the given `_PyInterpreterConfig` will not be used outside `_Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig()`, nor preserved. This contrasts with how `PyConfig` is currently preserved, used, and even modified outside `Py_InitializeFromConfig()`. I'd rather just avoid that mess from the start for `_PyInterpreterConfig`. We can preserve it later if we find an actual need.
This change allows us to follow up with a number of improvements (e.g. stop disallowing subprocess and support disallowing exec instead).
(Note that this PR adds "private" symbols. We'll probably make them public, and add docs, in a separate change.)
This was added for bpo-40514 (gh-84694) to test out a per-interpreter GIL. However, it has since proven unnecessary to keep the experiment in the repo. (It can be done as a branch in a fork like normal.) So here we are removing:
* the configure option
* the macro
* the code enabled by the macro
