Three bugs in the cross-interpreter data subsystem are fixed by this patch: a use-after-free in _ensure_notshareableerror where control falls through to code that dereferences a ctx pointer after ownership of the referenced object was transferred to the thread state via _PyErr_SetRaisedException, a leaked exception in _PyXI_UnwrapNotShareableError where _PyXI_InitFailure can fail under low-memory conditions leaving the exception removed from the thread error indicator and never restored, and a use-after-free in _get_xidata where obj is passed to _set_xid_lookup_failure for error-string formatting after it has already been released with Py_DECREF, meaning a concurrent deallocation would dereference a freed pointer.

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.
