gh-119585: Fix crash involving `PyGILState_Release()` and `PyThreadState_Clear()` (#119753)
Make sure that `gilstate_counter` is not zero in when calling `PyThreadState_Clear()`. A destructor called from `PyThreadState_Clear()` may call back into `PyGILState_Ensure()` and `PyGILState_Release()`. If `gilstate_counter` is zero, it will try to create a new thread state before the current active thread state is destroyed, leading to an assertion failure or crash.

+Fix crash when a thread state that was created by :c:func:`PyGILState_Ensure`
+calls a destructor that during :c:func:`PyThreadState_Clear` that
+calls back into :c:func:`PyGILState_Ensure` and :c:func:`PyGILState_Release`.
+This might occur when in the free-threaded build or when using thread-local
+variables whose destructors call :c:func:`PyGILState_Ensure`.
