Make sure that the internal C API is not tested by mistake by
_testcapi.
Undefine Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN and Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macros in
Modules/_testcapi/parts.h: move code from _testcapimodule.c.
heaptype_relative.c and vectorcall_limited.c are using the limited C
API which is incompatible with the internal C API.
Move test_long_numbits() from _testcapi to _testinternalcapi since it
uses the internal C API "pycore_long.h".
Fix Modules/_testcapi/pyatomic.c: don't include Python.h directly,
just include _testcapi/parts.h.
Ajust "make check-c-globals" for these changes.
Move these private functions to the internal C API
(pycore_abstract.h):
* _Py_convert_optional_to_ssize_t()
* _PyNumber_Index()
Argument Clinic now emits #include "pycore_abstract.h" when these
functions are used.
The parser of the c-analyzer tool now uses a list of files which use
the limited C API, rather than a list of files using the internal C
API.
Move the private _PyLong converter functions to the internal C API
* _PyLong_FileDescriptor_Converter(): moved to pycore_fileutils.h
* _PyLong_Size_t_Converter(): moved to pycore_long.h
Argument Clinic now emits includes for pycore_fileutils.h and
pycore_long.h when these functions are used.
Move these private functions to the internal C API (pycore_long.h):
* _PyLong_UnsignedInt_Converter()
* _PyLong_UnsignedLongLong_Converter()
* _PyLong_UnsignedLong_Converter()
* _PyLong_UnsignedShort_Converter()
Argument Clinic now emits #include "pycore_long.h" when these
functions are used.
Remove the "cpython/pytime.h" header file: it only contained private
functions. Move functions to the internal pycore_time.h header file.
Move tests from _testcapi to _testinternalcapi. Rename also test
methods to have the same name than tested C functions.
No longer export these functions:
* _PyTime_Add()
* _PyTime_As100Nanoseconds()
* _PyTime_FromMicrosecondsClamp()
* _PyTime_FromTimespec()
* _PyTime_FromTimeval()
* _PyTime_GetPerfCounterWithInfo()
* _PyTime_MulDiv()
This fixes a race during import. The existing _PyRuntimeState.imports.pkgcontext is shared between interpreters, and occasionally this would cause a crash when multiple interpreters were importing extensions modules at the same time. To solve this we add a thread-local variable for the value. We also leave the existing state (and infrequent race) in place for platforms that do not support thread-local variables.
This will keep us from adding new unsupported (i.e. non-const) C global variables, which would break interpreter isolation.
FYI, historically it is very uncommon for new global variables to get added. Furthermore, it is rare for new code to break the c-analyzer. So the check should almost always pass unnoticed.
Note that I've removed test_check_c_globals. A test wasn't a great fit conceptually and was super slow on debug builds. A CI check is a better fit.
This also resolves gh-100237.

Some incompatible changes had gone in, and the "ignore" lists weren't properly undated. This change fixes that. It's necessary prior to enabling test_check_c_globals, which I hope to do soon.
Note that this does include moving last_resort_memory_error to PyInterpreterState.

The original tool wasn't working right and it was simpler to create a new one, partially re-using some of the old code. At this point the tool runs properly on the master. (Try: ./python Tools/c-analyzer/c-analyzer.py analyze.) It take ~40 seconds on my machine to analyze the full CPython code base.
Note that we'll need to iron out some OS-specific stuff (e.g. preprocessor). We're okay though since this tool isn't used yet in our workflow. We will also need to verify the analysis results in detail before activating the check in CI, though I'm pretty sure it's close.
