Add an Unstable C API tier as per PEP 689.

Other candidates for inclusion are below.
These usually need discussion first. This is a checklist for having the discussion.
Please try to not hold the individual discussions in this issue.

  • Dict watching API
  • Functions from PEP-523 not specified in PEP-689 (_PyEval_EvalFrameDefault & co.) -- this is a can of worms tho
  • FrameStack API (Add "unstable" frame stack api #91371)
  • _Py_HashDouble, see PEP 689 -- Add an unstable C-API tier #91744 (comment)
  • PyBytesObject.ob_shash sounds like a good candidate: see https://discuss.python.org/t/15108 (guess fields need a slightly different naming convention though. Sigh. That should have been in the PEP.)
  • non-opaque access to frame structs and any other key APIs needed to implement alternate eval loops with comparable performance to the default eval loop (unless & until we can figure out stable public APIs that can deliver equivalent performance) - see Nick's reply
  • C APIs that provide access to compiled code whether in AST or opcode form (the API itself may be stable, but the compiled code isn't) - see Nick's reply
  • PyLong_FromByteArray/PyUnstable_LongToBase30Digits: https://discuss.python.org/t/20045
  • Anything that starts with an underscore and is documented
  • Fast access to PyLong contents

Got any more?
I offer to move other API to the unstable tier myself, if there's a good usage example to base docs & regression tests on.

@encukou #101102 caused the refleak test failure with my local machine

Changes described the PEP are in. Waiting for SC approval for a change before I mark it Final: python/steering-council#185

I won't be able to start all the discussions I want before beta, so the issue will stay open.
