extmod/mbedtls: Try GC before failing to setup socket on esp32, unix.

On mbedTLS ports with non-baremetal configs (mostly esp32, technically also
unix port), mbedTLS memory is allocated from the libc heap. This means an
old SSL socket may be holding large SSL buffers and preventing a new SSL
socket from being allocated.

As a workaround, trigger a GC pass and retry before failing outright.

This was originally implemented as a global mbedTLS calloc function, but
there is complexity around the possibility of C user modules calling into
mbedTLS without holding the GIL. It would be interesting to try making a
generic version for any malloc which fails, but this would require checking
for a Python thread and probably making the GIL recursive.

This work was funded through GitHub Sponsors.
