gh-148022: Add threat model to remote debugging docs (GH-148024)
The remote debugging protocol has been generating spurious
vulnerability reports from automated scanners that pattern-match
on "remote access" and "memory operations" without understanding
the privilege model. This section documents the security boundaries
so reporters can self-triage before submitting.
The threat model clarifies three points: attaching requires the
same OS-level privileges as GDB (ptrace, task_for_pid, or
SeDebugPrivilege), crashes caused by reading corrupted target
process memory are not security issues, and a compromised target
process is out of scope. A subsection explains when operators
should use PYTHON_DISABLE_REMOTE_DEBUG for defence-in-depth.

Align the QSBR thread state array to a 64-byte cache line boundary
and add padding at the end of _PyThreadStateImpl. Depending on heap
layout, the QSBR array could end up sharing a cache line with a
thread's tlbc_index, causing QSBR quiescent state updates to contend
with reads of tlbc_index in RESUME_CHECK. This is sensitive to
earlier allocations during interpreter init and can appear or
disappear with seemingly unrelated changes.
Either change alone is sufficient to fix the specific issue, but both
are worthwhile to avoid similar problems in the future.

Cache one datachunk per tstate to prevent alloc/dealloc thrashing when repeatedly hitting the same call depth at exactly the wrong boundary.
Move new _ts member to the end to not mess up remote debuggers' ideas of the
struct's layout. (The struct is only created by the runtime, and the new
field only used by the runtime, so it should be safe.)
