Jeff Epler a18a392109 background_callback: Add gc collect callback
A background callback must never outlive its related object.  By
collecting the head of the linked list of background tasks, this will
not happen.

One hypothetical case where this could happen is if an MP3Decoder is
deleted while its callback to fill its buffer is scheduled.

/** Background callbacks are a linked list of tasks to call in the background.
*
* Include a member of type `background_callback_t` inside an object
* which needs to queue up background work, and zero-initialize it.
*
* To schedule the work, use background_callback_add, with fun as the
* function to call and data pointing to the object itself.
*
* Next time run_background_tasks_if_tick is called, the callback will
* be run and removed from the linked list.
*
* Queueing a task that is already queued does nothing. Unconditionally
* re-queueing it from its own background task will cause it to run during the
* very next background-tasks invocation, leading to a CircuitPython freeze, so
* don't do that.
*
* background_callback_add can be called from interrupt context.
