bpo-36465: Make release and debug ABI compatible (GH-12615)
Release build and debug build are now ABI compatible: the Py_DEBUG define no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS define which introduces the only ABI incompatibility. A new "./configure --with-trace-refs" build option is now required to get Py_TRACE_REFS define which adds sys.getobjects() function and PYTHONDUMPREFS environment variable. Changes: * Add ./configure --with-trace-refs * Py_DEBUG no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS
