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
