_hashlib_HASH_hash() set an exception when EVP_DigestUpdate() failed, but it is called inside a GIL-released region by _hashlib.HASH.update() and by the _hashlib.HASH constructor when the data exceeds HASHLIB_GIL_MINSIZE bytes. Setting the exception with the thread state detached crashes the interpreter instead of raising a ValueError.

Only report the failure in _hashlib_HASH_hash() and set the exception in its callers once the thread state is re-attached. The OpenSSL error queue is per thread, so the exception message is unaffected.

The _hashlib.HMAC counterpart is handled in #159818 as it only affects 3.15 and later, whereas this one should be backported to 3.13 and 3.14 as well.

Sorry, @picnixz, I could not cleanly backport this to 3.14 due to a conflict.

Please backport manually with cherry_picker, see the devguide for more information.

…taching the thread state (GH-159817) (#159937)

When `EVP_DigestUpdate()` failed, `_hashlib_HASH_hash()` raised a Python
exception, however, `_hashlib.HASH.update()` and the `_hashlib.HASH`
constructor release the GIL before calling it when the data is larger
than `HASHLIB_GIL_MINSIZE` bytes.

`_hashlib_HASH_hash()` now only returns an error status and its callers
raise the exception once they have re-attached the thread state.

(cherry picked from commit 6fa2d64)
