Add _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet()

Issue #26154: Add a new private _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() function which
gets the current thread state, but don't call Py_FatalError() if it is NULL.

Python 3.5.1 removed the _PyThreadState_Current symbol from the Python C API to
no more expose complex and private atomic types. Atomic types depends on the
compiler or can even depend on compiler options. The new function
_PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() allows to get the variable value without having
to care of the exact implementation of atomic types.

Changes:

* Replace direct usage of the _PyThreadState_Current variable with a call to
  _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet().
* In pystate.c, replace direct usage of the _PyThreadState_Current variable
  with the PyThreadState_GET() macro for readability.
* Document also PyThreadState_Get() in pystate.h
