gh-81057: Move PyImport_Inittab to _PyRuntimeState (gh-99402)
We actually don't move PyImport_Inittab. Instead, we make a copy that we keep on _PyRuntimeState and use only that after Py_Initialize(). We also prevent folks from modifying PyImport_Inittab (the best we can) after that point. https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/81057

+The docs clearly say that ``PyImport_Inittab``,
+:c:func:`PyImport_AppendInittab`, and :c:func:`PyImport_ExtendInittab`
+should not be used after :c:func:`Py_Initialize` has been called.
+We now enforce this for the two functions. Additionally, the runtime
+now uses an internal copy of ``PyImport_Inittab``,
+to guard against modification.
