This is part of the effort to consolidate global variables, to make them easier to manage (and make it easier to later move some of them to PyInterpreterState).
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/81057
As we consolidate global variables, we find some objects that are almost suitable to add to _PyRuntimeState.global_objects, but have some small/sneaky bit of per-interpreter state (e.g. a weakref list). We're adding PyInterpreterState.static_objects so we can move such objects there. (We'll removed the _not_used field once we've added others.)
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/81057
Up until now we had a single generated initializer macro for all the statically declared global objects in _PyRuntimeState, including several one-offs (e.g. the empty tuple). The one-offs don't need to be generated, but were because we had one big initializer. Having separate initializers for set of generated global objects allows us to generate only the ones we need to. This allows us to add initializers for one-off global objects without having to generate them.

Add _PyStaticObject_CheckRefcnt() function to make
_PyStaticObjects_CheckRefcnt() shorter. Use
_PyObject_ASSERT_FAILED_MSG() to log the object causing the fatal
error.
We do the following:
* move the generated _PyUnicode_InitStaticStrings() to its own file
* move the generated _PyStaticObjects_CheckRefcnt() to its own file
* include pycore_global_objects.h in extension modules instead of pycore_runtime_init.h
These changes help us avoid including things that aren't needed.

This makes it more clear that a given test is definitely testing against a single-phase init (legacy) extension module. The new module is a companion to _testmultiphase.

Remove the distutils package. It was deprecated in Python 3.10 by PEP
632 "Deprecate distutils module". For projects still using distutils
and cannot be updated to something else, the setuptools project can
be installed: it still provides distutils.
* Remove Lib/distutils/ directory
* Remove test_distutils
* Remove references to distutils
* Skip test_check_c_globals and test_peg_generator since they use
distutils
