gh-94673: More Per-Interpreter Fields for Builtin Static Types (gh-103912)
his involves moving tp_dict, tp_bases, and tp_mro to PyInterpreterState, in the same way we did for tp_subclasses.  Those three fields are effectively const for builtin static types (unlike tp_subclasses).  In theory we only need to make their values immortal, along with their contents.  However, that isn't such a simple proposition.  (See gh-103823.)  In the meantime the simplest solution is to move the fields into the interpreter.

One alternative is to statically allocate the values, but that's its own can of worms.

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`_
