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.
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.

Like #28744 but for the Tools directory.

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.
