Issue #19787: PyThread_set_key_value() now always set the value
In Python 3.3, PyThread_set_key_value() did nothing if the key already exists (if the current value is a non-NULL pointer). When _PyGILState_NoteThreadState() is called twice on the same thread with a different Python thread state, it still keeps the old Python thread state to keep the old behaviour. Replacing the Python thread state with the new state introduces new bugs: see issues #10915 and #15751.
