Use per-thread refcounting for the reference from function objects to
their corresponding code object. This can be a source of contention when
frequently creating nested functions. Deferred refcounting alone isn't a
great fit here because these references are on the heap and may be
modified by other libraries.
The free-threaded build partially stores heap type reference counts in
distributed manner in per-thread arrays. This avoids reference count
contention when creating or destroying instances.

This exposes `PyUnstable_Object_ClearWeakRefsNoCallbacks` as an unstable
C-API function to provide a thread-safe mechanism for clearing weakrefs
without executing callbacks.
Some C-API extensions need to clear weakrefs without calling callbacks,
such as after running finalizers like we do in subtype_dealloc.
Previously they could use `_PyWeakref_ClearRef` on each weakref, but
that's not thread-safe in the free-threaded build.

Add _PyType_LookupRef and use incref before setting attribute on type
Makes setting an attribute on a class and signaling type modified atomic
Avoid adding re-entrancy exposing the type cache in an inconsistent state by decrefing after type is updated
gh-113750: Fix object resurrection on free-threaded builds
This avoids the undesired re-initializing of fields like `ob_gc_bits`,
`ob_mutex`, and `ob_tid` when an object is resurrected due to its
finalizer being called.
This change has no effect on the default (with GIL) build.
Add PyThreadState_GetUnchecked() function: similar to
PyThreadState_Get(), but don't issue a fatal error if it is NULL. The
caller is responsible to check if the result is NULL. Previously,
this function was private and known as _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet().
Make PyObject_VisitManagedDict() and PyObject_ClearManagedDict()
functions public in Python 3.13 C API.
* Rename _PyObject_VisitManagedDict() to PyObject_VisitManagedDict().
* Rename _PyObject_ClearManagedDict() to PyObject_ClearManagedDict().
* Document these functions.
Remove the private _Py_Identifier type and related private functions
from the public C API:
* _PyObject_GetAttrId()
* _PyObject_LookupSpecialId()
* _PyObject_SetAttrId()
* _PyType_LookupId()
* _Py_IDENTIFIER()
* _Py_static_string()
* _Py_static_string_init()
Move them to the internal C API: add a new pycore_identifier.h header
file. No longer export these functions.
Move private _PyObject and private _PyType functions to the internal
C API (pycore_object.h):
* _PyObject_GetMethod()
* _PyObject_IsAbstract()
* _PyObject_NextNotImplemented()
* _PyType_CalculateMetaclass()
* _PyType_GetDocFromInternalDoc()
* _PyType_GetTextSignatureFromInternalDoc()
No longer export these functions.
Move private debug _PyObject functions to the internal C API
(pycore_object.h):
* _PyDebugAllocatorStats()
* _PyObject_CheckConsistency()
* _PyObject_DebugTypeStats()
* _PyObject_IsFreed()
No longer export most of these functions, except of
_PyObject_IsFreed().
Move test functions using _PyObject_IsFreed() from _testcapi to
_testinternalcapi. check_pyobject_is_freed() test no longer catch
_testcapi.error: the tested function cannot raise _testcapi.error.
Moving it valuable with a per-interpreter GIL. However, it is also useful without one, since it allows us to identify refleaks within a single interpreter or where references are escaping an interpreter. This becomes more important as we move the obmalloc state to PyInterpreterState.

The essentially eliminates the global variable, with the associated benefits. This is also a precursor to isolating this bit of state to PyInterpreterState.
Folks that currently read _Py_RefTotal directly would have to start using _Py_GetGlobalRefTotal() instead.

We've factored out a struct from the two PyThreadState fields. This accomplishes two things:
* make it clear that the trashcan-related code doesn't need any other parts of PyThreadState
* allows us to use the trashcan mechanism even when there isn't a "current" thread state
We still expect the caller to hold the GIL.

The Py_CLEAR(), Py_SETREF() and Py_XSETREF() macros now only evaluate
their arguments once. If an argument has side effects, these side
effects are no longer duplicated.
Use temporary variables to avoid duplicating side effects of macro
arguments. If available, use _Py_TYPEOF() to avoid type punning.
Otherwise, use memcpy() for the assignment to prevent a
miscompilation with strict aliasing caused by type punning.
Add _Py_TYPEOF() macro: __typeof__() on GCC and clang.
Add test_py_clear() and test_py_setref() unit tests to _testcapi.

* Store tp_weaklist on the interpreter state for static builtin types.
* Factor out _PyStaticType_GET_WEAKREFS_LISTPTR().
* Add _PyStaticType_ClearWeakRefs().
* Add a comment about how _PyStaticType_ClearWeakRefs() loops.
* Document the change.
* Update Doc/whatsnew/3.12.rst
* Fix a typo.
This is the last precursor to storing tp_subclasses (and tp_weaklist) on the interpreter state for static builtin types.
Here we add per-type storage on PyInterpreterState, but only for the static builtin types. This involves the following:
* add PyInterpreterState.types
* move PyInterpreterState.type_cache to it
* add a "num_builtins_initialized" field
* add a "builtins" field (a static array big enough for all the static builtin types)
* add _PyStaticType_GetState() to look up a static builtin type's state
* (temporarily) add PyTypeObject.tp_static_builtin_index (to hold the type's index into PyInterpreterState.types.builtins)
We will be eliminating tp_static_builtin_index in a later change.
