Check that the thread incrementing or decrementing
the ref count of a Tcl_Obj is the thread that originally allocated the thread. This fail fast behavior will catch programming errors that allow a single Tcl_Obj to be accessed from multiple threads. * generic/tcl.h (Tcl_Obj): Add allocThread member to Tcl_Obj. This member records the thread id the Tcl_Obj was allocated. It is used to check that any future ref count incr or decr is done from the same thread that allocated the Tcl_Obj. This member is defined only when threads and mem debug are enabled. * generic/tclInt.h (TclNewObj, TclDbNewObj, TclDecrRefCount): Define TclNewObj and TclDbNewObj using TclDbInitNewObj when mem debug is enabled. This fixes a problem where TclNewObj calls did not work the same as TclDbNewObj when mem debug was enabled. * generic/tclObj.c (TclDbInitNewObj, Tcl_DbIncrRefCount, Tcl_DbDecrRefCount): Add new helper to init Tcl_Obj members when mem debug is enabled. Init the allocThread member in TclDbInitNewObj and check it in Tcl_DbIncrRefCount and Tcl_DbDecrRefCount to make sure a Tcl_Obj allocated in one thread is not being acted upon in another thread.
