* bpo-31499, xml.etree: Fix xmlparser_gc_clear() crash

xml.etree: xmlparser_gc_clear() now sets self.parser to NULL to prevent a
crash in xmlparser_dealloc() if xmlparser_gc_clear() was called previously
by the garbage collector, because the parser was part of a reference cycle.

* Avoid calling "PyObject_GetAttrString()" (and potentially executing user code) with a live exception set.

* Ignore only AttributeError on attribute lookups in ElementTree.XMLParser() and propagate all other exceptions.
(cherry picked from commit c8d8e15b)

This makes the default behavior (without specifying `globalns` manually) more
predictable for users, finds the right globalns automatically.

Implementation for classes assumes has a `__module__` attribute and that module
is present in `sys.modules`.  It does this recursively for all bases in the
MRO.  For modules, the implementation just uses their `__dict__` directly.

This is backwards compatible, will just raise fewer exceptions in naive user
code.

Originally implemented and reviewed at https://github.com/python/typing/pull/470.
