Issue #14432: Remove the thread state field from the frame structure. Fix a

crash when a generator is created in a C thread that is destroyed while the
generator is still used. The issue was that a generator contains a frame, and
the frame kept a reference to the Python state of the destroyed C thread. The
crash occurs when a trace function is setup.
