Combine PyGC_IsEnabled and PyGC_Disable into PyGC_Disable as it already returns previous state of garbage collector.

A little bit of background: I was building an app using free-threaded python and sqlalchemy with asyncpg - 4-8 threads each with connection to postgres. What I found is very slow (although at this early stage data volume was also low) memory leak of ~100MB/day.
After checking it further with Claude - found by injecting that live app had disabled GC. Further check of what could be disabling GC led to this part of code in greenlet, due to race condition of 2 separate threads accessing GC state at a different time. I've build a patched version with this very change and now the leak is gone.
Can't say that there is no other problem in here with free-threading, but at the very least, this should make it less likely.
