Cython cannot use "pycore_frame.h" in Py3.14a4

Bug report

Bug description:

It's this time of the year again. As discussed before (e.g. https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/123747), Cython #includes CPython's pycore_frame.h to get access to certain frame features, e.g. their integration into tracebacks.

I noticed that Cython generated code doesn't compile in CPython 3.14 alpha with the following kind of errors:

…\Python\3.14.0-alpha.4\x64\include\internal\pycore_stackref.h(278): error C7555: use of designated initializers requires at least '/std:c++20'

This is from one of our Windows CI runs. Py3.14a4 seems to be what Github Actions currently provides. Cython code expects C99 and something close to (but not necessarily as complete as) C++11 as compiler standards. It targets both C and C++, depending on user needs.

The dependency on pycore_stackref.h was apparently added in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/118450:

What can we do to resolve this?
