In free-threaded builds, concurrent calls to PyDict_AddWatcher, PyDict_ClearWatcher, PyDict_Watch, and PyDict_Unwatch can race on the shared callback array and the per-dict watcher tags. This change adds a mutex to serialize watcher registration and removal, atomic operations for tag updates, and atomic acquire/release synchronization for callback dispatch in _PyDict_SendEvent.

Improve ABI/feature selection, add new header for it.
Add a test that Python headers themselves don't use
Py_GIL_DISABLED in abi3t: abi3 and abi3t ought to be the
same except the _Py_OPAQUE_PYOBJECT differences.
This is done using the GCC-only poison pragma.

## Summary
- Move the `runtime->initialized = 1` store from before `site.py` import to the end of `init_interp_main()`, so `Py_IsInitialized()` only returns true after initialization has fully completed
- Access `initialized` and `core_initialized` through new inline accessors using acquire/release atomics, to also protect from data race undefined behavior
- `PySys_AddAuditHook()` now uses the accessor, so with the flag move it correctly skips audit hook invocation during all init phases (matching the documented "after runtime initialization" behavior) ... We could argue that running these earlier would be good even if the intent was never explicitly expressed, but that'd be its own issue.
## Motivation
`Py_IsInitialized()` returned 1 while `Py_InitializeEx()` was still running — specifically, before `site.py` had been imported. See https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/issues/5900 where a second thread could acquire the GIL and start executing Python with an incomplete `sys.path` because `site.py` hadn't finished.
The flag was also a plain `int` with no atomic operations, making concurrent reads a C-standard data race, though unlikely to manifest.
## Regression test:
The added test properly fails on `main` with `ERROR: Py_IsInitialized() was true during site import`.

There are newly documented restrictions on tp_traverse:
The traversal function must not have any side effects.
It must not modify the reference counts of any Python
objects nor create or destroy any Python objects.
* Add several functions that are guaranteed side-effect-free,
with a _DuringGC suffix.
* Use these in ctypes
* Consolidate tp_traverse docs in gcsupport.rst, moving unique
content from typeobj.rst there

Python.h now also includes <string.h> in the limited C API version 3.11
and newer to fix the Py_CLEAR() macro which uses memcpy().
Add a Py_CLEAR() test in test_cext.
Modify also _Py_TYPEOF to use C23 typeof() if available.

* Make Py_{SIZE,IS_TYPE,SET_SIZE} regular functions in stable ABI
Group them together with Py_TYPE & Py_SET_TYPE to cut down
on repetitive preprocessor macros.
Format repetitive definitions in object.c more concisely.
Py_SET_TYPE is still left out of the Limited API.
* Promote _PyObject_Dump() as a public function.
* Keep _PyObject_Dump() alias to PyUnstable_Object_Dump()
for backward compatibility.
* Replace _PyObject_Dump() with PyUnstable_Object_Dump().
