[3.10] bpo-44630: Fix assertion errors in csv module (GH-27127) (GH-27129)



Fix incorrect handling of exceptions when interpreting dialect objects in
the csv module. Not clearing exceptions between calls to
PyObject_GetAttrString() causes assertion failures in pydebug mode (or with
assertions enabled).

Add a minimal test that would've caught this (passing None as dialect, or
any object that isn't a csv.Dialect subclass, which the csv module allows
and caters to, even though it is not documented.) In pydebug mode, the test
triggers the assertion failure in the old code.
