[3.13] gh-140815: Fix faulthandler for invalid/freed frame (#140921) (#140985)
gh-140815: Fix faulthandler for invalid/freed frame (#140921)

faulthandler now detects if a frame or a code object is invalid or
freed.

Add helper functions:

* _PyCode_SafeAddr2Line()
* _PyFrame_SafeGetCode()
* _PyFrame_SafeGetLasti()

_PyMem_IsPtrFreed() now detects pointers in [-0xff, 0xff] range
as freed.

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`_
