Sam Gross e001027188 gh-117139: Garbage collector support for deferred refcounting (#122956)
The free-threaded GC now visits interpreter stacks to keep objects
that use deferred reference counting alive.

Interpreter frames are zero initialized in the free-threaded GC so
that the GC doesn't see garbage data. This is a temporary measure
until stack spilling around escaping calls is implemented.

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`_
