gh-114203: Optimise simple recursive critical sections (#128126)
Add a fast path to (single-mutex) critical section locking _iff_ the mutex
is already held by the currently active, top-most critical section of this
thread. This can matter a lot for indirectly recursive critical sections
without intervening critical sections.

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`_
