[issue36412] A possible crash in dictobject.c's new_dict()

[Zackery Spytz]

New submission from Zackery Spytz <zspytz at gmail.com>:

PyDict_New() calls new_dict() with the "empty_values" array. If the PyObject_GC_New() call in new_dict() fails, new_dict() will call PyMem_FREE() on this array, causing a crash.
