GH-92678: Expose managed dict clear and visit functions #95246

Adds the unstable API functions

PyAPI_FUNC(int) _PyObject_VisitManagedDict(PyObject *self, visitproc visit, void *arg);
PyAPI_FUNC(void) _PyObject_ClearManagedDict(PyObject *self);

I've only added a test for _PyObject_ClearManagedDict as there doesn't seem to be a straightforward way to test the visit function.

I'm going with this solution instead of https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/95242/files because I really don't want to modify typeobject.c in the last beta that's only one week :S

As these functions are marked as unstable API functions, we have some space to proceed if we need to adapt things around, but for the time being is good enough for now.

If this proves insufficient, or the breakage is to big, we can always try the automatic way in typeobject.c but changes will always be needed to port to Python 3.11.

@markshannon @Fidget-Spinner Please, after I merge this, make a PR adding this change to the what's new for 3.11 on "how to port to Python 3.11" (and mark the issue as a blocker so we don't forget to merge it).

I think this is quite a bit weird: these functions receive an object and then visit/clear the dict. This is not an API for dictionary objects, it's an API for instances so I think it should not be here but in object.h or some other header.

Looking at these functions, at first sight, it seems that "self" is the dictionary and not the oject.

I'm merging the PR to get this into beta 5. We can address moving the functions to a different header and the docs later.

Sorry, @markshannon and @pablogsal, I could not cleanly backport this to 3.11 due to a conflict.
