Use the new public Raw functions:
* _PyTime_PerfCounterUnchecked() with PyTime_PerfCounterRaw()
* _PyTime_TimeUnchecked() with PyTime_TimeRaw()
* _PyTime_MonotonicUnchecked() with PyTime_MonotonicRaw()
Remove internal functions:
* _PyTime_PerfCounterUnchecked()
* _PyTime_TimeUnchecked()
* _PyTime_MonotonicUnchecked()
In general, when `_PyThreadState_GET()` is non-NULL then the current
thread is "attached", but there is a small window during
`PyThreadState_DeleteCurrent()` where that's not true:
tstate_delete_common() is called when the thread is detached, but before
current_fast_clear().

<pycore_time.h> include is no longer needed to get the PyTime_t type
in internal header files. This type is now provided by <Python.h>
include. Add <pycore_time.h> includes to C files instead.
Fix race between `_PyParkingLot_Park` and `_PyParkingLot_UnparkAll` when handling interrupts
There is a potential race when `_PyParkingLot_UnparkAll` is executing in
one thread and another thread is unblocked because of an interrupt in
`_PyParkingLot_Park`. Consider the following scenario:
1. Thread T0 is blocked[^1] in `_PyParkingLot_Park` on address `A`.
2. Thread T1 executes `_PyParkingLot_UnparkAll` on address `A`. It
finds the `wait_entry` for `T0` and unlinks[^2] its list node.
3. Immediately after (2), T0 is woken up due to an interrupt. It
then segfaults trying to unlink[^3] the node that was previously
unlinked in (2).
To fix this we mark each waiter as unparking before releasing the bucket
lock. `_PyParkingLot_Park` will wait to handle the coming wakeup, and not
attempt to unlink the node, when this field is set. `_PyParkingLot_Unpark`
does this already, presumably to handle this case.
Add a configure define for HAVE_PTHREAD_COND_TIMEDWAIT_RELATIVE_NP and
replaces pthread_cond_timedwait() with pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np()
for relative time when supported in semaphore waiting logic.
PyMutex is a one byte lock with fast, inlineable lock and unlock functions for the common uncontended case. The design is based on WebKit's WTF::Lock.
PyMutex is built using the _PyParkingLot APIs, which provides a cross-platform futex-like API (based on WebKit's WTF::ParkingLot). This internal API will be used for building other synchronization primitives used to implement PEP 703, such as one-time initialization and events.
This also includes tests and a mini benchmark in Tools/lockbench/lockbench.py to compare with the existing PyThread_type_lock.
Uncontended acquisition + release:
* Linux (x86-64): PyMutex: 11 ns, PyThread_type_lock: 44 ns
* macOS (arm64): PyMutex: 13 ns, PyThread_type_lock: 18 ns
* Windows (x86-64): PyMutex: 13 ns, PyThread_type_lock: 38 ns
PR Overview:
The primary purpose of this PR is to implement PyMutex, but there are a number of support pieces (described below).
* PyMutex: A 1-byte lock that doesn't require memory allocation to initialize and is generally faster than the existing PyThread_type_lock. The API is internal only for now.
* _PyParking_Lot: A futex-like API based on the API of the same name in WebKit. Used to implement PyMutex.
* _PyRawMutex: A word sized lock used to implement _PyParking_Lot.
* PyEvent: A one time event. This was used a bunch in the "nogil" fork and is useful for testing the PyMutex implementation, so I've included it as part of the PR.
* pycore_llist.h: Defines common operations on doubly-linked list. Not strictly necessary (could do the list operations manually), but they come up frequently in the "nogil" fork. ( Similar to https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?queue)
