Add Py_BEGIN_CRITICAL_SECTION_SEQUENCE_FAST and Py_END_CRITICAL_SECTION_SEQUENCE_FAST macros and update str.join to use them. Also add a regression test that would crash reliably without this patch.

@DinoV & @colesbury: What needs to happen to perform the final merge? I rebased a few minutes ago to be sure it was fully up-to-date with main, not really sure what the next step is now that it's been reviewed.

@MojoVampire Thanks for the PR, the Py_BEGIN_CRITICAL_SECTION_SEQUENCE_FAST is just what I needed. I have a question on the usage of Py_BEGIN_CRITICAL_SECTION_SEQUENCE_FAST : can it also be used when code inside the critical section tries to acquire a lock on the same object?

I am trying to use it to make _json thread safe, but my test case keeps locking in the free-threaded build. Usage is here: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/119438/files#diff-efe183ae0b85e5b8d9bbbc588452dd4de80b39fd5c5174ee499ba554217a39edR1667

Found it! Works, but one has to take care of goto statements in the code that can jump beyond the Py_END_CRITICAL_SECTION_SEQUENCE_FAST.
