Fixes #4913

Because PyDict is a concurrent hash table, it's safe to first check if the dict has a key without holding a critical section then acquire the critical section and fill the dict.

Also adds a test based on the reproducer that I verified fails on main.

I ran cargo stress repeatedly for ~10 times to try to trigger any flaky tests due to thread safety issues. I didn't see any failures.

Works perfectly in our setup as well and looks good to me. Thank you!

While we're at it, perhaps let's just use safe APIs here?

Suggested change
let has_builtins = unsafe { ffi::PyDict_Contains(globals.as_ptr(), builtins_s) };
let has_builtins = globals.contains(builtins)?;

There was once a slight perf advantage where the raw FFI would have avoided a useless reference count incref / decref on the key, but since IntoPyObject we can now avoid that cost completely. So the safe API should be zero cost and shorter, safer code.

... and similar below.
