gh-111964: Implement stop-the-world pauses (gh-112471)
The `--disable-gil` builds occasionally need to pause all but one thread. Some examples include: * Cyclic garbage collection, where this is often called a "stop the world event" * Before calling `fork()`, to ensure a consistent state for internal data structures * During interpreter shutdown, to ensure that daemon threads aren't accessing Python objects This adds the following functions to implement global and per-interpreter pauses: * `_PyEval_StopTheWorldAll()` and `_PyEval_StartTheWorldAll()` (for the global runtime) * `_PyEval_StopTheWorld()` and `_PyEval_StartTheWorld()` (per-interpreter) (The function names may change.) These functions are no-ops outside of the `--disable-gil` build.
