I.e. in this mode, C stack will never be used to call a Python function,
but if there's no free heap for a call, it will be reported as
RuntimeError (as expected), not MemoryError.
This patch consolidates all global variables in py/ core into one place,
in a global structure. Root pointers are all located together to make
GC tracing easier and more efficient.
Such mechanism is important to get stable Python functioning, because Python
function calling is handled with C stack. The idea is to sprinkle
STACK_CHECK() calls in places where there can be C recursion.
TODO: Add more STACK_CHECK()'s.
