Inconsistent `.extend()` behavior in bytearray

Bug report

Bug description:

Extending a bytearrary can behave very differently when extending via an iterable than when extending a list or array.array in the same way:

>>> from itertools import islice
>>> xs = [0, 1, 2]
>>> xs.extend(islice(xs, 12000))
>>> len(xs)
12003
>>> import array
>>> xs = array.array('Q', [0, 1, 2])
>>> xs.extend(islice(xs, 12000))
>>> len(xs)
12003

Tricky, but it's always worked this way, and is very convenient to extend a sequence with copies of itself. Note that the iterator picks up new elements of the sequence while they're being added.

bytearray doesn't work this way, though. It appears to capture the sequence's length just once at the start, and so can't do more than double the original length.

>>> xs = bytearray([0, 1, 2])
>>> xs.extend(islice(xs, 12000))
>>> len(xs)
6
>>> list(xs)
[0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2]

Bumped into this when changing old code to switch from lists of small ints to bytearrays instead. Quite a head-scratcher to figure out what went wrong! ;-)

まず、提供された itertools.islice の例を使って bytearray.extend の動作を再現し、その後、現在の方向性について関連付けられた PR gh-145333 と gh-145637 を確認します。示された list と array.array のケースと一貫する形で動作が解決され、その作業で関連するリグレッションテストのカバレッジが特定されれば完了です。
