[3.14] gh-135228: When @dataclass(slots=True) replaces a dataclass, make the original class collectible (GH-136893) (#136960)

gh-135228: When @dataclass(slots=True) replaces a dataclass, make the original class collectible (GH-136893)

An interesting hack, but more localized in scope than GH-135230.

This may be a breaking change if people intentionally keep the original class around
when using `@dataclass(slots=True)`, and then use `__dict__` or `__weakref__` on the
original class.
(cherry picked from commit 46cbdf967a)
