bpo-42197: Don't create f_locals dictionary unless we actually need it. (GH-32055)
* `PyFrame_FastToLocalsWithError` and `PyFrame_LocalsToFast` are no longer called during profile and tracing.
 (Contributed by Fabio Zadrozny)

* Make accesses to a frame's `f_locals` safe from C code, not relying on calls to `PyFrame_FastToLocals` or `PyFrame_LocalsToFast`.

* Document new `PyFrame_GetLocals` C-API function.

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

The C API is divided into three sections:

1. ``Include/``: Limited API
2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details
3. ``Include/internal/``: The internal API

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