summary:

gh-128008: Add `PyWeakref_IsDead()` (GH-128009)

The `PyWeakref_IsDead()` function tests if a weak reference is dead
without any side effects. Although you can also detect if a weak
reference is dead using `PyWeakref_GetRef()`, that function returns a
strong reference that must be `Py_DECREF()`'d, which can introduce side
effects if the last reference is concurrently dropped (at least in the
free threading build).
