* Add FOR_ITER_VIRTUAL to specialize FOR_ITER for virtual iterators
* Add GET_ITER_SELF to specialize GET_ITER for iterators (including generators)
* Add GET_ITER_VIRTUAL to specialize GET_ITER for iterables as virtual iterators
* Add new (internal) _tp_iteritem function slot to PyTypeObject
* Put limited RESUME at start of genexpr for free-threading. Fix up exception handling in genexpr
Fix also error handling in _BINARY_OP_ADD_FLOAT,
_BINARY_OP_SUBTRACT_FLOAT and _BINARY_OP_MULTIPLY_FLOAT opcodes.
PyStackRef_FromPyObjectSteal() must not be called with a NULL
pointer.
* Convert DEOPT_IFs to EXIT_IFs for guards. Keep DEOPT_IF for intentional drops to the interpreter.
* Modify BINARY_OP_SUBSCR_LIST_INT and STORE_SUBSCR_LIST_INT to handle negative indices, to keep EXIT_IFs and DEOPT_IFs in different uops
Remove PyThread_type_lock (now uses PyMutex internally).
Add new benchmark options:
- work_inside/work_outside: control work inside and outside the critical section to vary contention levels
- num_locks: use multiple independent locks with threads assigned round-robin
- total_iters: fixed iteration count per thread instead of time-based, useful for measuring fairness
- num_acquisitions: lock acquisitions per loop iteration
- random_locks: acquire random lock each iteration
Also return elapsed time from benchmark_locks() and switch lockbench.py to use argparse.
When the interpreter is in a stop-the-world pause, critical sections
don't need to acquire locks since no other threads can be running.
This avoids a potential deadlock where lock fairness hands off ownership
to a thread that has already suspended for stop-the-world.
Add `_Py_type_getattro_stackref`, a variant of type attribute lookup
that returns `_PyStackRef` instead of `PyObject*`. This allows returning
deferred references in the free-threaded build, reducing reference count
contention when accessing type attributes.
This significantly improves scaling of namedtuple instantiation across
multiple threads.

Now that the specializing interpreter works with free threading,
replace ENABLE_SPECIALIZATION_FT with ENABLE_SPECIALIZATION and
replace requires_specialization_ft with requires_specialization.
Also limit the uniquely referenced check to FOR_ITER_RANGE. It's not
necessary for FOR_ITER_GEN and would cause test_for_iter_gen to fail.
