gc_refs values.

Between collections, every gc'ed object has one of two gc_refs values:

GC_UNTRACKED
    The initial state; objects returned by PyObject_GC_Malloc are in this
    state.  The object doesn't live in any generation list, and its
    tp_traverse slot must not be called.

GC_REACHABLE
    The object lives in some generation list, and its tp_traverse is safe to
    call.  An object transitions to GC_REACHABLE when PyObject_GC_Track
    is called.

During a collection, gc_refs can temporarily take on other states:

>= 0
    At the start of a collection, update_refs() copies the true refcount
    to gc_refs, for each object in the generation being collected.
    subtract_refs() then adjusts gc_refs so that it equals the number of
    times an object is referenced directly from outside the generation
    being collected.
    gc_refs remains >= 0 throughout these steps.

GC_TENTATIVELY_UNREACHABLE
    move_unreachable() then moves objects not reachable (whether directly or
    indirectly) from outside the generation into an "unreachable" set.
    Objects that are found to be reachable have gc_refs set to GC_REACHABLE
    again.  Objects that are found to be unreachable have gc_refs set to
    GC_TENTATIVELY_UNREACHABLE.  It's "tentatively" because the pass doing
    this can't be sure until it ends, and GC_TENTATIVELY_UNREACHABLE may
    transition back to GC_REACHABLE.

    Only objects with GC_TENTATIVELY_UNREACHABLE still set are candidates
    for collection.  If it's decided not to collect such an object (e.g.,
    it has a __del__ method), its gc_refs is restored to GC_REACHABLE again.
