Fix T81688: BPY_thread_save crashes with Python 3.9

Calling PyEval_ReleaseLock() was crashing with Python 3.9
because it accessed the NULL pointer set by PyThreadState_Swap().

This happened when calling ViewLayer.update() for example.

While the existing logic could be fixed by swapping the thread-state
back before calling PyEval_ReleaseLock(), this depends on functions
which are tagged to be removed by v4.0.

Replace use of deprecated functions by calling PyEval_SaveThread(),
instead of inlining the logic, using _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet()
to prevent Python aborting.

The call to PyEval_ThreadsInitialized has been removed
as threads are now initialized with Python.
This could be replaced with Py_IsInitialized() however it doesn't look
like this is necessary.

This is compatible with Python 3.7 & 3.9.
