Sam Gross b482538523 gh-124218: Refactor per-thread reference counting (#124844)
Currently, we only use per-thread reference counting for heap type objects and
the naming reflects that. We will extend it to a few additional types in an
upcoming change to avoid scaling bottlenecks when creating nested functions.

Rename some of the files and functions in preparation for this change.

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`_
