gh-101659: Isolate "obmalloc" State to Each Interpreter (gh-101660)
This is strictly about moving the "obmalloc" runtime state from `_PyRuntimeState` to `PyInterpreterState`. Doing so improves isolation between interpreters, specifically most of the memory (incl. objects) allocated for each interpreter's use. This is important for a per-interpreter GIL, but such isolation is valuable even without it. FWIW, a per-interpreter obmalloc is the proverbial canary-in-the-coalmine when it comes to the isolation of objects between interpreters. Any object that leaks (unintentionally) to another interpreter is highly likely to cause a crash (on debug builds at least). That's a useful thing to know, relative to interpreter isolation.
