While working on bpo-38379 I had to manually set the GC_DEBUG macro to 1 to activate the extra checks that 'validate_list' does. These checks are super useful to make sure all the gc lists used are consistent and in the expected state with the expected masks.

For this reason, I propose to always activate GC_DEBUG for debug builds of the interpreter. It will have a performance impact, but the debugging benefits are substantial.
