This is to catch out double deallocation bugs. Likely from a faulty .tp_dealloc allowing the GC to run before the object is untracked.

This assert matches the one added to the GIL build, in 780c497. The call to validate_refcounts was moved up to start of the GC because queue_untracked_obj_decref() creates it own zero reference count garbage.

Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.
