[New-bugs-announce] [issue17522] Add api PyGILState_Check

[Kristján Valur Jónsson]

New submission from Kristján Valur Jónsson:

Here is a function that is used by specialized part of our code.  Often it is useful for e.g. IO callbacks or memory hooks to know if the GIL is in place in order to know if certain things can be done or not.
Putting this here to see if anyone has strong opinions against adding this.
