…ists Converting a nested list or tuple to a Tcl object now raises ValueError above 1000 levels, the same limit _flatten() uses. Converting a deeply nested Tcl list back to Python now raises RecursionError.

Pass a depth through
AsObj()/TupleAsObj()and raiseValueErrorabove 1000 levels, the same limit and exception_flatten()uses. A fixed limit rather than a C stack check, because Tcl itself recurses when it builds the string form of a nested list and can overflow at depths Python's stack check would still allow. Converted items are now released on the error path instead of leaked. The reverse direction,FromObj()on a nested Tcl list, getsPy_EnterRecursiveCall()and raisesRecursionError.Lists or tuples nested deeper than 1000 levels that happened to fit on the stack used to convert and now raise
ValueError.Fixes #160176
