gh-129069: Fix listobject.c data races due to memmove (gh-142957)
The use of memmove and _Py_memory_repeat were not thread-safe in the free threading build in some cases. In theory, memmove and _Py_memory_repeat can copy byte-by-byte instead of pointer-by-pointer, so concurrent readers could see uninitialized data or tearing. Additionally, we should be using "release" (or stronger) ordering to be compliant with the C11 memory model when copying objects within a list.
