python3: Backport patch to fix an issue in subinterpreters

This adds a backport patch that fixes a problem in subinterpreters related
to the garbagecollector. Without the patch, there are random segfaults in
several Kodi addons that use python3-sqlite3. Presumably there are real world
issues in other programs as well.

+Subject: [PATCH 01/40] gh-92036: Fix gc_fini_untrack() (GH-92037)
+
+Fix a crash in subinterpreters related to the garbage collector. When
+a subinterpreter is deleted, untrack all objects tracked by its GC.
+To prevent a crash in deallocator functions expecting objects to be
+tracked by the GC, leak a strong reference to these objects on
+purpose, so they are never deleted and their deallocator functions
+are not called.
+(cherry picked from commit 14243369b5f80613628a565c224bba7fb3fcacd8)
