Concurrent accesses from multiple threads to the same `cell` object did not
scale well in the free-threaded build. Use `_PyStackRef` and optimistically
avoid locking to improve scaling.
With the locks around cell reads gone, some of the free threading tests were
prone to starvation: the readers were able to run in a tight loop and the
writer threads weren't scheduled frequently enough to make timely progress.
Adjust the tests to avoid this.

The `dict.get` implementation uses `_Py_dict_lookup_threadsafe`, which is
thread-safe, so we remove the critical section from the argument clinic.
Add a test for concurrent dict get and set operations.
