gh-112529: Make the GC scheduling thread-safe (#114880)
The GC keeps track of the number of allocations (less deallocations)
since the last GC. This buffers the count in thread-local state and uses
atomic operations to modify the per-interpreter count. The thread-local
buffering avoids contention on shared state.
A consequence is that the GC scheduling is not as precise, so
"test_sneaky_frame_object" is skipped because it requires that the GC be
run exactly after allocating a frame object.
