Fix mimalloc allocator for huge memory allocation (around
8,589,934,592 GiB) on s390x.
Abort allocation early in mimalloc if the number of slices doesn't
fit into uint32_t, to prevent a integer overflow (cast 64-bit
size_t to uint32_t).
Remove unreliable tests on huge memory allocations:
* Remove test_maxcontext_exact_arith() of test_decimal.
Stefan Krah, test author, agreed on removing the test:
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/114331#issuecomment-1925731273
* Remove test_constructor() tests of test_io.
Sam Gross suggests remove them:

On Linux, depending how overcommit is configured, especially on Linux
s390x, a huge memory allocation (half or more of the full address
space) can succeed, but then the process will eat the full system
swap and make the system slower and slower until the whole system
becomes unusable.
Moreover, these tests had to be skipped when Python is built with
sanitizers.
We want code objects to use deferred reference counting in the
free-threaded build. This requires them to be tracked by the GC, so we
set `Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC` in the free-threaded build, but not the default
build.
gh-117662 introduced some refleaks, or, rather, exposed some existing refleaks. The leaks are coming when test.support.os_helper is imported in a "legacy" interpreter. I've updated test.test_interpreters.utils to avoid importing os_helper, which fixes the leaks. I'll address the root cause separately.
Check `my_object_collected.wait()` in a loop to give the main thread a
chance to merge the reference count fields. Additionally, call
`my_object_collected.set()` in a background thread to avoid deadlocking
when the destructor is called asynchronously via the eval breaker
within the body of of `my_object_collected.wait()`.
TSAN erroneously reports a data race between the `_Py_atomic_compare_exchange_int`
on `tstate->state` in `tstate_try_attach()` and the non-atomic load of
`tstate->state` in `start_the_world`. The `_Py_atomic_compare_exchange_int` fails,
but TSAN erroneously treats it as a store.
Additionally, reduce the iterations for a few weakref tests that would
otherwise take a prohibitively long amount of time (> 1 hour) when TSAN
is enabled and the GIL is disabled.
Since 6258844c, paths that might not exist can be fed into pathlib's
globbing implementation, which will call `os.scandir()` / `os.lstat()` only
when strictly necessary. This allows us to drop an initial `self.is_dir()`
call, which saves a `stat()`.
