gh-102660: Handle m_copy Specially for the sys and builtins Modules (gh-102661)
It doesn't make sense to use multi-phase init for these modules. Using a per-interpreter "m_copy" (instead of PyModuleDef.m_base.m_copy) makes this work okay. (This came up while working on gh-101660.)

Note that we might instead end up disallowing re-load for sys/builtins since they are so special.

The Python C API
================

The C API is divided into these sections:

1. ``Include/``: Limited API
2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details
3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can
   change between minor releases
4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API

Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_
