gh-117139: Garbage collector support for deferred refcounting by colesbury · Pull Request #122956 · python/cpython

* The free-threaded GC now visits interpreter stacks to keep objects
  that use deferred reference counting alive.

* Interpreter frames are zero initialized in the free-threaded GC so
  that the GC doesn't see garbage data. This is a temporary measure
  until stack spilling around escaping calls is implemented.
