This change makes things a little less painful for some users. It also fixes a failing assert (gh-120765), by making sure all subinterpreters are destroyed before the main interpreter. As part of that, we make sure Py_Finalize() always runs with the main interpreter active.

We also add _PyThreadState_NewBound() and drop _PyThreadState_SetWhence().
This change only affects internal API.

In gh-120009 I used an atexit hook to finalize the _datetime module's static types at interpreter shutdown. However, atexit hooks are executed very early in finalization, which is a problem in the few cases where a subclass of one of those static types is still alive until the final GC collection. The static builtin types don't have this probably because they are finalized toward the end, after the final GC collection. To avoid the problem for _datetime, I have applied a similar approach here.
Also, credit goes to @mgorny and @neonene for the new tests.
FYI, I would have liked to take a slightly cleaner approach with managed static types, but wanted to get a smaller fix in first for the sake of backporting. I'll circle back to the cleaner approach with a future change on the main branch.

We already intern and immortalize most string constants. In the
free-threaded build, other constants can be a source of reference count
contention because they are shared by all threads running the same code
objects.
Most module names are interned and immortalized, but the main
module was not. This partially addresses a scaling bottleneck in the
free-threaded when creating closure concurrently in the main module.
The code for Tier 2 is now only compiled when configured
with `--enable-experimental-jit[=yes|interpreter]`.
We drop support for `PYTHON_UOPS` and -`Xuops`,
but you can disable the interpreter or JIT
at runtime by setting `PYTHON_JIT=0`.
You can also build it without enabling it by default
using `--enable-experimental-jit=yes-off`;
enable with `PYTHON_JIT=1`.
On Windows, the `build.bat` script supports
`--experimental-jit`, `--experimental-jit-off`,
`--experimental-interpreter`.
In the C code, `_Py_JIT` is defined as before
when the JIT is enabled; the new variable
`_Py_TIER2` is defined when the JIT *or* the
interpreter is enabled. It is actually a bitmask:
1: JIT; 2: default-off; 4: interpreter.
These are cleanups I've pulled out of gh-118116. Mostly, this change moves code around to align with some future changes and to improve clarity a little. There is one very small change in behavior: we now add the module to the per-interpreter caches after updating the global state, rather than before.
The free-threaded build does not currently support the combination of
single-phase init modules and non-isolated subinterpreters. Ensure that
`check_multi_interp_extensions` is always `True` for subinterpreters in
the free-threaded build so that importing these modules raises an
`ImportError`.
Split `_PyThreadState_DeleteExcept` into two functions:
- `_PyThreadState_RemoveExcept` removes all thread states other than one
passed as an argument. It returns the removed thread states as a
linked list.
- `_PyThreadState_DeleteList` deletes those dead thread states. It may
call destructors, so we want to "start the world" before calling
`_PyThreadState_DeleteList` to avoid potential deadlocks.
Add Py_GetConstant() and Py_GetConstantBorrowed() functions.
In the limited C API version 3.13, getting Py_None, Py_False,
Py_True, Py_Ellipsis and Py_NotImplemented singletons is now
implemented as function calls at the stable ABI level to hide
implementation details. Getting these constants still return borrowed
references.
Add _testlimitedcapi/object.c and test_capi/test_object.py to test
Py_GetConstant() and Py_GetConstantBorrowed() functions.
This changes the free-threaded build to perform a stop-the-world pause
before deleting other thread states when forking and during shutdown.
This fixes some crashes when using multiprocessing and during shutdown
when running with `PYTHON_GIL=0`.
This also changes `PyOS_BeforeFork` to acquire the runtime lock
(i.e., `HEAD_LOCK(&_PyRuntime)`) before forking to ensure that data
protected by the runtime lock (and not just the GIL or stop-the-world)
is in a consistent state before forking.
This adds `_PyMem_FreeDelayed()` and supporting functions. The
`_PyMem_FreeDelayed()` function frees memory with the same allocator as
`PyMem_Free()`, but after some delay to ensure that concurrent lock-free
readers have finished.
This change adds an `eval_breaker` field to `PyThreadState`. The primary
motivation is for performance in free-threaded builds: with thread-local eval
breakers, we can stop a specific thread (e.g., for an async exception) without
interrupting other threads.
The source of truth for the global instrumentation version is stored in the
`instrumentation_version` field in PyInterpreterState. Threads usually read the
version from their local `eval_breaker`, where it continues to be colocated
with the eval breaker bits.
Add an option (--enable-experimental-jit for configure-based builds
or --experimental-jit for PCbuild-based ones) to build an
*experimental* just-in-time compiler, based on copy-and-patch (https://fredrikbk.com/publications/copy-and-patch.pdf).
See Tools/jit/README.md for more information on how to install the required build-time tooling.
For interpreters that share state with the main interpreter, this points
to the same static memory structure. For interpreters with their own
obmalloc state, it is heap allocated. Add free_obmalloc_arenas() which
will free the obmalloc arenas and radix tree structures for interpreters
with their own obmalloc state.

* gh-112532: Use separate mimalloc heaps for GC objects
In `--disable-gil` builds, we now use four separate heaps in
anticipation of using mimalloc to find GC objects when the GIL is
disabled. To support this, we also make a few changes to mimalloc:
* `mi_heap_t` and `mi_tld_t` initialization is split from allocation.
This allows us to have a `mi_tld_t` per-`PyThreadState`, which is
important to keep interpreter isolation, since the same OS thread may
run in multiple interpreters (using different PyThreadStates.)
* Heap abandoning (mi_heap_collect_ex) can now be called from a
different thread than the one that created the heap. This is necessary
because we may clear and delete the containing PyThreadStates from a
different thread during finalization and after fork().
* Use enum instead of defines and guard mimalloc includes.
* The enum typedef will be convenient for future PRs that use the type.
* Guarding the mimalloc includes allows us to unconditionally include
pycore_mimalloc.h from other header files that rely on things like
`struct _mimalloc_thread_state`.
* Only define _mimalloc_thread_state in Py_GIL_DISABLED builds
The `PyThreadState_Clear()` function must only be called with the GIL
held and must be called from the same interpreter as the passed in
thread state. Otherwise, any Python objects on the thread state may be
destroyed using the wrong interpreter, leading to memory corruption.
This is also important for `Py_GIL_DISABLED` builds because free lists
will be associated with PyThreadStates and cleared in
`PyThreadState_Clear()`.
This fixes two places that called `PyThreadState_Clear()` from the wrong
interpreter and adds an assertion to `PyThreadState_Clear()`.
This replaces some usages of PyThread_type_lock with PyMutex, which does not require memory allocation to initialize.
This simplifies some of the runtime initialization and is also one step towards avoiding changing the default raw memory allocator during initialize/finalization, which can be non-thread-safe in some circumstances.
This updates `dtoa.c` to avoid using the Bigint free-list in --disable-gil builds and
to pre-computes the needed powers of 5 during interpreter initialization.
* gh-111962: Make dtoa thread-safe in `--disable-gil` builds.
This avoids using the Bigint free-list in `--disable-gil` builds
and pre-computes the needed powers of 5 during interpreter initialization.
* Fix size of cached powers of 5 array.
We need the powers of 5 up to 5**512 because we only jump straight to
underflow when the exponent is less than -512 (or larger than 308).
* Rename Py_NOGIL to Py_GIL_DISABLED
* Changes from review
* Fix assertion placement
* Move _PyRuntimeState.time to _posixstate.ticks_per_second and
time_module_state.ticks_per_second.
* Add time_module_state.clocks_per_second.
* Rename _PyTime_GetClockWithInfo() to py_clock().
* Rename _PyTime_GetProcessTimeWithInfo() to py_process_time().
* Add process_time_times() helper function, called by
py_process_time().
* os.times() is now always built: no longer rely on HAVE_TIMES.
Replace most of calls of _PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg() and some
calls of PyErr_WriteUnraisable(NULL) with PyErr_FormatUnraisable().

This moves several general internal APIs out of _xxsubinterpretersmodule.c and into the new Python/crossinterp.c (and the corresponding internal headers).
Specifically:
* _Py_excinfo, etc.: the initial implementation for non-object exception snapshots (in pycore_pyerrors.h and Python/errors.c)
* _PyXI_exception_info, etc.: helpers for passing an exception beween interpreters (wraps _Py_excinfo)
* _PyXI_namespace, etc.: helpers for copying a dict of attrs between interpreters
* _PyXI_Enter(), _PyXI_Exit(): functions that abstract out the transitions between one interpreter and a second that will do some work temporarily
Again, these were all abstracted out of _xxsubinterpretersmodule.c as generalizations. I plan on proposing these as public API at some point.
- There is no longer a separate Python/executor.c file.
- Conventions in Python/bytecodes.c are slightly different -- don't use `goto error`,
you must use `GOTO_ERROR(error)` (same for others like `unused_local_error`).
- The `TIER_ONE` and `TIER_TWO` symbols are only valid in the generated (.c.h) files.
- In Lib/test/support/__init__.py, `Py_C_RECURSION_LIMIT` is imported from `_testcapi`.
- On Windows, in debug mode, stack allocation grows from 8MiB to 12MiB.
- **Beware!** This changes the env vars to enable uops and their debugging
to `PYTHON_UOPS` and `PYTHON_LLTRACE`.
