Neil Schemenauer c98c5b3449 gh-131253: free-threaded build support for pystats (gh-137189)
Allow the --enable-pystats build option to be used with free-threading.  The
stats are now stored on a per-interpreter basis, rather than process global.
For free-threaded builds, the stats structure is allocated per-thread and
then periodically merged into the per-interpreter stats structure (on thread
exit or when the reporting function is called). Most of the pystats related
code has be moved into the file Python/pystats.c.

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`_
