Close #16742: Fix misuse of memory allocations in PyOS_Readline()
The GIL must be held to call PyMem_Malloc(), whereas PyOS_Readline() releases
the GIL to read input.
The result of the C callback PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer must now be a string
allocated by PyMem_RawMalloc() or PyMem_RawRealloc() (or NULL if an error
occurred), instead of a string allocated by PyMem_Malloc() or PyMem_Realloc().
Fixing this issue was required to setup a hook on PyMem_Malloc(), for example
using the tracemalloc module.
PyOS_Readline() copies the result of PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer() into a new
buffer allocated by PyMem_Malloc(). So the public API of PyOS_Readline() does
not change.
