Pablo Galindo Salgado fbfc6ccb0a gh-148144: Initialize visited on copied interpreter frames (#148143)
_PyFrame_Copy() copied interpreter frames into generator and
frame-object storage without initializing the visited byte. Incremental
GC later reads frame->visited in mark_stacks() on non-start passes, so
copied frames could expose an uninitialized value once they became live
on a thread stack again.

Reset visited when copying a frame so copied frames start with defined
GC bookkeeping state. Preserve lltrace in Py_DEBUG builds.

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`_
