Python support for free threading — Warning filters

In the free-threaded build, the flag ~sys.flags.context_aware_warnings is set to true by default.

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). In the free-threaded build, the flag ~sys.flags.context_aware_warnings is set to true by default. In the default GIL-enabled build, the flag defaults to false. If the flag is true then the warnings.catch_warnings context manager uses a context variable for warning filters. If the flag is false then ~warnings.catch_warnings modifies the global filters list, which is not thread-safe. See the warnings module for more details.
