Sam Gross 6e97a9647a gh-109549: Add new states to PyThreadState to support PEP 703 (gh-109915)
This adds a new field 'state' to PyThreadState that can take on one of three values: _Py_THREAD_ATTACHED, _Py_THREAD_DETACHED, or _Py_THREAD_GC.  The "attached" and "detached" states correspond closely to acquiring and releasing the GIL.  The "gc" state is current unused, but will be used to implement stop-the-world GC for --disable-gil builds in the near future.

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`_
