In the free threading build, if a non-owning thread resizes a list, it must use QSBR to free the old list array because there may be a concurrent access (without a lock) from the owning thread.

To match the pattern in dictobject.c, we just mark the list as "shared" before resizing if it's from a non-owning thread and not already marked as shared.

The repro from @vstinner no longer crashes:

./python -m test test_opcache -v -m test_binary_subscr_list_int -j10 -F 

I think there's probably cleaner ways of structuring this, but I figured we might as well match the pattern in dictobject.c for now. We can refactor it a bit later.

We were missing locks around some list operations in the free threading build.
