gh-112087: Make list.extend(dict) behave atomically (#117438)

Add a special case for `list.extend(dict)` and `list(dict)` so that those
patterns behave atomically with respect to modifications to the list or
dictionary.

This is required by multiprocessing, which assumes that
`list(_finalizer_registry)` is atomic.
