Eric Snow 80dc39e1dc gh-110310: Add a Per-Interpreter XID Registry for Heap Types (gh-110311)
We do the following:

* add a per-interpreter XID registry (PyInterpreterState.xidregistry)
* put heap types there (keep static types in _PyRuntimeState.xidregistry)
* clear the registries during interpreter/runtime finalization
* avoid duplicate entries in the registry (when _PyCrossInterpreterData_RegisterClass() is called more than once for a type)
* use Py_TYPE() instead of PyObject_Type() in _PyCrossInterpreterData_Lookup()

The per-interpreter registry helps preserve isolation between interpreters.  This is important when heap types are registered, which is something we haven't been doing yet but I will likely do soon.

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`_
