Instead of surprise crashes and memory corruption, we now hang threads that attempt to re-enter the Python interpreter after Python runtime finalization has started. These are typically daemon threads (our long standing mis-feature) but could also be threads spawned by extension modules that then try to call into Python. This marks the `PyThread_exit_thread` public C API as deprecated as there is no plausible safe way to accomplish that on any supported platform in the face of things like C++ code with finalizers anywhere on a thread's stack. Doing this was the least bad option.

Currently, we only use per-thread reference counting for heap type objects and
the naming reflects that. We will extend it to a few additional types in an
upcoming change to avoid scaling bottlenecks when creating nested functions.
Rename some of the files and functions in preparation for this change.
Instead of be limited just by the size of addressable memory (2**63
bytes), Python integers are now also limited by the number of bits, so
the number of bit now always fit in a 64-bit integer.
Both limits are much larger than what might be available in practice,
so it doesn't affect users.
_PyLong_NumBits() and _PyLong_Frexp() are now always successful.
Use a `_PyStackRef` and defer the reference to `f_funcobj` when
possible. This avoids some reference count contention in the common case
of executing the same code object from multiple threads concurrently in
the free-threaded build.
Lower the C recursion limit for HPPA, PPC64 and SPARC, as they use
relatively large stack frames that cause e.g. `test_descr` to hit
a stack overflow. According to quick testing, it seems that values
around 8000 are max for HPPA and PPC64 (ELFv1 ABI) and 7000 for SPARC64.
To keep things safe, let's use 5000 for PPC64 and 4000 for SPARC.

In gh-121602, I applied a fix to a builtin types initialization bug.
That fix made sense in the context of some broader future changes,
but introduced a little bit of extra complexity. That fix has turned
out to be incomplete for some of the builtin types we haven't
been testing. I found that out while improving the tests.
A while back, @markshannon suggested a simpler fix that doesn't
have that problem, which I've already applied to 3.12 and 3.13.
I'm switching to that here. Given the potential long-term
benefits of the more complex (but still incomplete) approach,
I'll circle back to it in the future, particularly after I've improved
the tests so no corner cases slip through the cracks.
(This is effectively a "forward-port" of 716c677 from 3.13.)
Add PyConfig_Get(), PyConfig_GetInt(), PyConfig_Set() and
PyConfig_Names() functions to get and set the current runtime Python
configuration.
Add visibility and "sys spec" to config and preconfig specifications.
_PyConfig_AsDict() now converts PyConfig.xoptions as a dictionary.

Switch more _Py_IsImmortal(...) assertions to _Py_IsImmortalLoose(...)
The remaining calls to _Py_IsImmortal are in free-threaded-only code,
initialization of core objects, tests, and guards that fall back to
code that works with mortal objects.
