[3.14] gh-140067: Fix memory leak in sub-interpreter creation (GH-140111) (#140118)
* [3.14] gh-140067: Fix memory leak in sub-interpreter creation  (GH-140111)

Fix memory leak in sub-interpreter creation caused by overwriting of the previously used `_malloced` field. Now the pointer is stored in the first word of the memory block to avoid it being overwritten accidentally.
(cherry picked from commit 59547a251f7069dc6e08cb6082dd21872671e381)

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`_
