test/upcast.cpp does not compile since python 3.10

Bắt đầu bằng cách đọc test/upcast.cpp ở các dòng 16-17 và tái hiện quá trình biên dịch được báo cáo với các header của Python 3.10 hoặc 3.13. So sánh việc sử dụng Py_REFCNT với Python C API đã thay đổi, sau đó xác minh rằng test/upcast.cpp biên dịch thành công với các phiên bản Python mới hơn.

Since Python 3.10, compilation of test/upcast.cpp fails.

This is because Py_REFCNT() is changed to the inline static function.

Unfortunately, the CI images use python upto 3.8, so the issue has not been found.
