[issue18874] Add a new tracemalloc module to trace memory allocations

[Jim Jewett]

Drat:  forgot one at line 277


.. function:: get_traced_memory()

   Get the current size and maximum size of memory blocks traced by the
   :mod:`tracemalloc` module as a tuple: ``(size: int, max_size: int)``.

I have a tendency to read "maximum size" as the most it is willing/able to trace, rather than the most it has traced at a single time so far.  I therefore prefer "peak_size".

Also, this doesn't suggests that the object is strictly a tuple, and that results.size or results.peak_size will not work; is that intentional?
