gh-111962: Make dtoa thread-safe in `--disable-gil` builds. by colesbury · Pull Request #112049 · python/cpython

This avoids using the Bigint free-list in `--disable-gil` builds
and pre-computes the needed powers of 5 during interpreter initialization.

We need the powers of 5 up to 5**512 because we only jump straight to
underflow when the exponent is less than -512 (or larger than 308).
