I have refactor the ``atexit.pyx`` since for python 3.14, the changes of
``atexit`` is so much for supporting the nogil version.
### Python<=3.13 Implementation:
- The ``atexit`` module stores callbacks in a C array of structs
(``atexit_callback``).
- The structure is defined in C as:
```
typedef struct { PyObject *func; PyObject *args; PyObject *kwargs
;} atexit_callback;
```
- Callbacks are stored in the interp->atexit.callbacks field as a C
array
- The array can be directly accessed from Cython code using pointer
arithmetic
### Python 3.14 Implementation:
- The ``atexit`` module was refactored to use a Python ``PyList`` object
instead of a C array.
- The structure is now:
```
state.callbacks = [(func, args, kwargs), ...] # A Python list of tuples
```
- In the C implementation, callbacks are managed with:
```
PyObject *callbacks; // This is now a PyList
```
- Callbacks are inserted at the beginning (LIFO order) using
``PyList_Insert(state->callbacks, 0, callback)``
