[3.13] gh-142183: Cache one datachunk per tstate to prevent alloc/dealloc thrashing (GH-145789) (#146123)
* gh-142183: Cache one datachunk per tstate to prevent alloc/dealloc thrashing (GH-145789) (#145828)

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.)

(cherry picked from commit 706fd4ec08)

The Python C API
================

The C API is divided into these sections:

1. ``Include/``: Limited API
2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details
3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can
   change between minor releases
4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API

Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_

.. _in the developer guide: https://devguide.python.org/c-api/
