Fixes a regression introduced by #114592 where mutating a global variable would cause repeated de-optimizations.

How do these new stats relate to the existing builtin_dict one?

They only apply to any watched dict, and watched module globals respectively.
Whereas the builtin dict count tracks any modification to the builtins, which are always watched

In theory watched_globals_modification + builtin_dict == watched_dict_modification
Although, as soon as we start watching any other dicts that will no longer be true.

The stats look good ~800 dict watchers fired instead of 8 million.

So I take it PyDict_EVENT_CLONED is no longer special?

It never was, it was (and still is) misnamed.
