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.

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

You can now write things like this:
```
inst(BUILD_STRING, (pieces[oparg] -- str)) { ... }
inst(LIST_APPEND, (list, unused[oparg-1], v -- list, unused[oparg-1])) { ... }
```
Note that array output effects are only partially supported (they must be named `unused` or correspond to an input effect).
For these the instr_format field uses IX instead of IB.
Register instructions use IX, IB, IBBX, IBBB, etc.
Also: Include the closing '}' in Block.tokens, for completeness
(These aren't used yet, but may be coming soon,
and it's easier to keep this tool the same between branches.)
Added a sanity check for all this to compile.c.

When executing the BUILD_LIST opcode, steal the references from the stack,
in a manner similar to the BUILD_TUPLE opcode. Implement this by offloading
the logic to a new private API, _PyList_FromArraySteal(), that works similarly
to _PyTuple_FromArraySteal().
This way, instead of performing multiple stack pointer adjustments while the
list is being initialized, the stack is adjusted only once and a fast memory
copy operation is performed in one fell swoop.
The presence of this macro indicates that a particular instruction
may be considered for conversion to a register-based format
(see https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/issues/485).
An invariant (currently unchecked) is that `DEOPT_IF()` may only
occur *before* `DECREF_INPUTS()`, and `ERROR_IF()` may only occur
*after* it. One reason not to check this is that there are a few
places where we insert *two* `DECREF_INPUTS()` calls, in different
branches of the code. The invariant checking would have to be able
to do some flow control analysis to understand this.
Note that many instructions, especially specialized ones,
can't be converted to use this macro straightforwardly.
This is because the generator currently only generates plain
`Py_DECREF(variable)` statements, and cannot generate
things like `_Py_DECREF_SPECIALIZED()` let alone deal with
`_PyList_AppendTakeRef()`.
