* Replace uses of `PyCell_GET` and `PyCell_SET`. These macros are not
safe to use in the free-threaded build. Use `PyCell_GetRef()` and
`PyCell_SetTakeRef()` instead.
* Since `PyCell_GetRef()` returns a strong rather than borrowed ref, some
code restructuring was required, e.g. `frame_get_var()` returns a strong
ref now.
* Add critical sections to `PyCell_GET` and `PyCell_SET`.
* Move critical_section.h earlier in the Python.h file.
* Add `PyCell_GET` to the free-threading howto table of APIs that return
borrowed refs.
* Add additional unit tests for free-threading.
Corrected some grammar and spelling issues in documentation.

PyDict_Next no longer locks the dictionary in the free-threaded build. Locking
around individual PyDict_Next calls is not sufficient because the function
returns borrowed references and because it allows concurrent modifications
during the iteraiton loop.
The internal locking also interferes with correct external synchronization
because it may suspend outer critical sections created by the caller.
