This PR sets up tagged pointers for CPython.
The general idea is to create a separate struct _PyStackRef for everything on the evaluation stack to store the bits. This forces the C compiler to warn us if we try to cast things or pull things out of the struct directly.
Only for free threading: We tag the low bit if something is deferred - that means we skip incref and decref operations on it. This behavior may change in the future if Mark's plans to defer all objects in the interpreter loop pans out.
This implies a strict stack reference discipline is required. ALL incref and decref operations on stackrefs must use the stackref variants. It is unsafe to untag something then do normal incref/decref ops on it.
The new incref and decref variants are called dup and close. They mimic a "handle" API operating on these stackrefs.
Please read Include/internal/pycore_stackref.h for more information!

Support non-dict globals in LOAD_FROM_DICT_OR_GLOBALS
The implementation basically copies LOAD_GLOBAL. Possibly it could be deduplicated,
but that seems like it may get hairy since the two operations have different operands.
This is important to fix in 3.14 for PEP 649, but it's a bug in earlier versions too,
and we should backport to 3.13 and 3.12 if possible.
The PEP 649 implementation will require a way to load NotImplementedError
from the bytecode. @markshannon suggested implementing this by converting
LOAD_ASSERTION_ERROR into a more general mechanism for loading constants.
This PR adds this new opcode. I will work on the rest of the implementation
of the PEP separately.

* Add CALL_PY_GENERAL, CALL_BOUND_METHOD_GENERAL and call CALL_NON_PY_GENERAL specializations.
* Remove CALL_PY_WITH_DEFAULTS specialization
* Use CALL_NON_PY_GENERAL in more cases when otherwise failing to specialize
* Target _FOR_ITER_TIER_TWO at POP_TOP following the matching END_FOR
* Modify _GUARD_NOT_EXHAUSTED_RANGE, _GUARD_NOT_EXHAUSTED_LIST and _GUARD_NOT_EXHAUSTED_TUPLE so that they also target the POP_TOP following the matching END_FOR
Makes sys.settrace, sys.setprofile, and monitoring generally thread-safe.
Mostly uses a stop-the-world approach and synchronization around the code object's _co_instrumentation_version. There may be a little bit of extra synchronization around the monitoring data that's required to be TSAN clean.
Introduce a unified 16-bit backoff counter type (``_Py_BackoffCounter``),
shared between the Tier 1 adaptive specializer and the Tier 2 optimizer. The
API used for adaptive specialization counters is changed but the behavior is
(supposed to be) identical.
The behavior of the Tier 2 counters is changed:
- There are no longer dynamic thresholds (we never varied these).
- All counters now use the same exponential backoff.
- The counter for ``JUMP_BACKWARD`` starts counting down from 16.
- The ``temperature`` in side exits starts counting down from 64.
This merges all `_CHECK_STACK_SPACE` uops in a trace into a single `_CHECK_STACK_SPACE_OPERAND` uop that checks whether there is enough stack space for all calls included in the entire trace.
