Description: The gc_stats struct contains ring buffers of gc_generation_stats entries (11 young + 3×2 old on default builds). Embedding it inline in _gc_runtime_state, which is itself inline in PyInterpreterState, pushed fields like _gil.locked and threads.head to offsets beyond what out-of-process profilers and debuggers can reasonably read in a single buffer (e.g. offset 9384 for _gil.locked vs an 8 KiB read buffer). Heap-allocate generation_stats via PyMem_RawCalloc in _PyGC_Init and free it in _PyGC_Fini. This shrinks PyInterpreterState by ~1.6 KiB and keeps the GIL, thread-list, and other frequently-inspected fields at stable, low offsets. Issue: gh-146527
