gh-127022: Simplify `PyStackRef_FromPyObjectSteal` (#127024)
This gets rid of the immortal check in `PyStackRef_FromPyObjectSteal()`.
Overall, this improves performance about 2% in the free threading
build.

This also renames `PyStackRef_Is()` to `PyStackRef_IsExactly()` because
the macro requires that the tag bits of the arguments match, which is
only true in certain special cases.

The Python C API
================

The C API is divided into these sections:

1. ``Include/``: Limited API
2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details
3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can
   change between minor releases
4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API

Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_
