PyMutex is a one byte lock with fast, inlineable lock and unlock functions for the common uncontended case. The design is based on WebKit's WTF::Lock. PyMutex is built using the _PyParkingLot APIs, which provides a cross-platform futex-like API (based on WebKit's WTF::ParkingLot). This internal API will be used for building other synchronization primitives used to implement PEP 703, such as one-time initialization and events. This also includes tests and a mini benchmark in Tools/lockbench/lockbench.py to compare with the existing PyThread_type_lock. Uncontended acquisition + release: * Linux (x86-64): PyMutex: 11 ns, PyThread_type_lock: 44 ns * macOS (arm64): PyMutex: 13 ns, PyThread_type_lock: 18 ns * Windows (x86-64): PyMutex: 13 ns, PyThread_type_lock: 38 ns PR Overview: The primary purpose of this PR is to implement PyMutex, but there are a number of support pieces (described below). * PyMutex: A 1-byte lock that doesn't require memory allocation to initialize and is generally faster than the existing PyThread_type_lock. The API is internal only for now. * _PyParking_Lot: A futex-like API based on the API of the same name in WebKit. Used to implement PyMutex. * _PyRawMutex: A word sized lock used to implement _PyParking_Lot. * PyEvent: A one time event. This was used a bunch in the "nogil" fork and is useful for testing the PyMutex implementation, so I've included it as part of the PR. * pycore_llist.h: Defines common operations on doubly-linked list. Not strictly necessary (could do the list operations manually), but they come up frequently in the "nogil" fork.

Tests in this directory are compiled into the _testinternalcapi extension. The main file for the extension is Modules/_testinternalcapimodule.c, which calls `_PyTestInternalCapi_Init_*` from these functions. See Modules/_testcapi/README.txt for guideline when writing C test code.
