This fixes a crash when `gc.get_objects()` or `gc.get_referrers()` is called during a GC in the free threading build. Switch to `_PyObjectStack` to avoid corrupting the `struct worklist` linked list maintained by the GC. Also, don't return objects that are frozen (gc.freeze) or in the process of being collected to more closely match the behavior of the default build.

After the `_PyEval_StartTheWorld()` call, other threads may be running and mutating objects. Ensure that the objects are kept alive by incref'ing them when they're added to the `_PyObjectStack`.
