- Introduce a new field in the GC state to store the frame that initiated garbage collection.
- Update RemoteUnwinder to include options for including "<native>" and "<GC>" frames in the stack trace.
- Modify the sampling profiler to accept parameters for controlling the inclusion of native and GC frames.
- Enhance the stack collector to properly format and append these frames during profiling.
- Add tests to verify the correct behavior of the profiler with respect to native and GC frames, including options to exclude them.

Example of fixed warnings on 32-bit Windows:
Python\remote_debugging.c(24,53): warning C4244: 'function':
conversion from 'uint64_t' to 'uintptr_t', possible loss of data
Modules\_remote_debugging_module.c(789,44): warning C4244:
'function': conversion from 'uint64_t' to 'size_t', possible loss
of data
The following types are now immutable:
* `_curses_panel.panel`,
* `[posix,nt].ScandirIterator`, `[posix,nt].DirEntry` (exposed in `os.py`),
* `_remote_debugging.RemoteUnwinder`,
* `_tkinter.Tcl_Obj`, `_tkinter.tkapp`, `_tkinter.tktimertoken`,
* `zlib.Compress`, and `zlib.Decompress`.
Reorder result tuple of parse_code_object
The standard followed by APIs like pstat.Stats is to take a file, line,
function triplet. The parse_code_object function (and callers exposing
this in Python like RemoteUnwinder.get_stack_trace) return function,
file, line triplets which requires the caller to reorder these when
using it in classes like pstat.Stats.
Completely refactor Modules/_remote_debugging_module.c with improved
code organization, replacing scattered reference counting and error
handling with centralized goto error paths. This cleanup improves
maintainability and reduces code duplication throughout the module while
preserving the same external API.
Implement memory page caching optimization in Python/remote_debug.h to
avoid repeated reads of the same memory regions during debugging
operations. The cache stores previously read memory pages and reuses
them for subsequent reads, significantly reducing system calls and
improving performance.
Add code object caching mechanism with a new code_object_generation
field in the interpreter state that tracks when code object caches need
invalidation. This allows efficient reuse of parsed code object metadata
and eliminates redundant processing of the same code objects across
debugging sessions.
Optimize memory operations by replacing multiple individual structure
copies with single bulk reads for the same data structures. This reduces
the number of memory operations and system calls required to gather
debugging information from the target process.
Update Makefile.pre.in to include Python/remote_debug.h in the headers
list, ensuring that changes to the remote debugging header force proper
recompilation of dependent modules and maintain build consistency across
the codebase.
Also, make the module compatible with the free threading build as an extra :)
