bpo-42536: GC track recycled tuples (GH-23623)

Several built-in and standard library types now ensure that their internal result tuples are always tracked by the garbage collector:

- collections.OrderedDict.items
- dict.items
- enumerate
- functools.reduce
- itertools.combinations
- itertools.combinations_with_replacement
- itertools.permutations
- itertools.product
- itertools.zip_longest
- zip

Previously, they could have become untracked by a prior garbage collection.
