rust-cpython: make PySharedRef::try_borrow_mut() return BorrowMutError

As I said, it shouldn't be an error of Python layer, but is something like
a coding error. Returning BorrowMutError makes more sense.

There's a weird hack to propagate the borrow-by-leaked state to RefCell
to obtain BorrowMutError. If we don't like it, maybe we can add our own
BorrowMutError.

/// derived references. The consistency of these references are guaranteed
/// as follows:
///
/// - The immutability of `py_class!` object fields. Any mutation of
///   `PySharedRefCell` is allowed only through its `borrow_mut()`.
/// - The `py: Python<'_>` token, which makes sure that any data access is
///   synchronized by the GIL.
/// - The underlying `RefCell`, which prevents `PySharedRefCell` data from
///   being directly borrowed or leaked while it is mutably borrowed.
/// - The `borrow_count`, which is the number of references borrowed from
///   `PyLeaked`. Just like `RefCell`, mutation is prohibited while `PyLeaked`
///   is borrowed.
/// - The `generation` counter, which increments on `borrow_mut()`. `PyLeaked`
///   reference is valid only if the `current_generation()` equals to the
///   `generation` at the time of `leak_immutable()`.
