patch does not correctly restore state on objects without __dict__

Bug report

Bug description:

from unittest.mock import patch
class Proxy(object):
    config = {}
    def __getattr__(self, name):
        return self.config[name]
    def __setattr__(self, name, value):
        if name == 'config':
            object.__setattr__(self, name, value)
            return
        self.config[name] = value
    def __delattr__(self, name):
        self.config[name] = 'DEFAULT'

p = Proxy()
p.a = True
print(p.a)
with patch('__main__.p.a', False):
    print(p.a)
print(p.a)

Expected

True
False
True

Actual

True
False
DEFAULT

Note that this is a relatively niche issue, but for example in a config system (i.e. https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/140779), if you don't want to have a delete work, (i.e. have it set it back to a default value), the code in https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/94a7a4e22fb8f567090514785c69e65298acca42/Lib/unittest/mock.py#L1637 will call delattr, and then not call setattr, because it still has the attr.

Possible fixes:
If delattr throws (maybe NotImplementederror), call setattr instead (this is nice and explicit + removes the hacky workaround I have to do).

If the value after it's been deleted doesn't equal the original value, reassign it? (this might require objects to be comparable, not sure if that is already an issue here).

Either way I wanted to see if there was any interest in fixing this, and if anyone saw a solution that seemed reasonable enough.

Start with the reproduction in the issue and inspect the restoration logic at Lib/unittest/mock.py around line 1637. Compare how patch handles attributes on objects without dict when deletion changes the observed value. Done means the example restores p.a to True while preserving existing behavior for ordinary objects, with regression coverage added in the relevant unittest.mock tests.
