bpo-38500: Add _PyInterpreterState_SetEvalFrameFunc() (GH-17340)

PyInterpreterState.eval_frame function now requires a tstate (Python
thread state) parameter.

Add private functions to the C API to get and set the frame
evaluation function:

* Add tstate parameter to _PyFrameEvalFunction function type.
* Add _PyInterpreterState_GetEvalFrameFunc() and
  _PyInterpreterState_SetEvalFrameFunc() functions.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault().
