[3.13] gh-132835: Add defensive NULL checks to MRO resolution (GH-134763) (GH-140437)

Currently, there are a few places where tp_mro could theoretically
become NULL, but do not in practice. This commit adds defensive checks for
NULL values to ensure that any changes do not introduce a crash and that
state invariants are upheld.

The assertions added in this commit are all instances where a NULL value would get passed to something not expecting a NULL, so it is better to catch an assertion failure than crash later on.

There are a few cases where it is OK for the return of lookup_tp_mro to be NULL, such as when passed to is_subtype_with_mro, which handles this explicitly.
(cherry picked from commit a8edca62fc)
