gh-118846: Fix free-threading test failures when run sequentially

[colesbury]

The free-threaded build currently immortalizes some objects once the first thread is started. This can lead to test failures depending on the order in which tests are run. This PR addresses those failures by suppressing immortalization or skipping the affected tests.

• Issue: Freethreading build fails -m test --pgo: test_ordered_dict and test_struct failed #118846

[colesbury]

@hroncok - this should address the remaining test failures in conjunction with #118862

[DinoV]

LGTM!

I still have:

Not sure if the pydoc thing is related, but the gc might.

[colesbury]

The pydoc failure is a funny interaction between tests. In test_inspect.py, we create a class that raises an error when you access __module__:

cpython/Lib/test/test_inspect/test_inspect.py

Lines 771 to 775 in 98ff3f6

	deftest_getfile_class_without_module(self):
	classCM(type):
	@property
	def__module__(cls):
	raiseAttributeError

In the free-threaded build, this class is now immortalized so it's still alive later on when test_pydoc tries to generate the pydoc for all subclasses of object.

[colesbury]

Ok, I think the test_pydoc and test_gc failures are fixed now too.

Thanks @colesbury for the PR 🌮🎉.. I'm working now to backport this PR to: 3.13.

GH-118927 is a backport of this pull request to the 3.13 branch.

This is the only one I got now:

[colesbury]

Just checking, this is from ./python -m test -W on the 3.13 branch? Is it a debug build?

[AlexWaygood]

Note that that AST test was only merged (and backported to 3.13) yesterday in #118854

[hroncok]

I might have git pulled but forgot to rebuild it. Mea culpa. Trying fresh.

[hroncok]

All is good now, thank you!
