bpo-35053: Enhance tracemalloc to trace free lists (GH-10063)

tracemalloc now tries to update the traceback when an object is
reused from a "free list" (optimization for faster object creation,
used by the builtin list type for example).

Changes:

* Add _PyTraceMalloc_NewReference() function which tries to update
  the Python traceback of a Python object.
* _Py_NewReference() now calls _PyTraceMalloc_NewReference().
* Add an unit test.
