`deque.index` result changed in 3.14.7 when a bound's `__index__` mutates the deque

Bug description

gh-150750 (merged in 3.14.7 via #150921) changed the result of deque.index when a bound's __index__ mutates the deque.
The change is not mentioned in the NEWS entry, which only describes the free-threading race, and is not covered by a test.

from collections import deque

d = deque([1, 2, 3])

class Grow:
    def __index__(self):
        d.extend([2, 2, 2])
        return -1

print(d.index(2, Grow()))

3.14.6 and earlier raise ValueError: deque.index(x): x not in deque.
3.14.7 prints 5.

Before #150779, stop defaulted to Py_SIZE(deque) read during argument parsing, before the start converter called __index__.
In the example, stop was captured as 3, start=-1 then resolved against the live size 6 to give 5, and start > stop clamped the search to an empty window.
After #150779, deque_index_impl reads the size once, after argument conversion, so both bounds resolve against the mutated size and the search finds the element.

The new behavior is self-consistent (one size snapshot, taken after both converters run) and matches what list.index does, so this is probably fine to keep.
Reporting it because the change is user-visible in a patch release: it may deserve a changelog note and a regression test, or reverting if the old behavior was intended.

Comece reproduzindo o exemplo de deque.index e revisando a implementação de deque.index, a entrada do NEWS e o PR #157784 vinculado. O trabalho estará concluído quando for resolvido se o comportamento da versão 3.14.7 deve permanecer e, em caso afirmativo, a alteração for documentada e a cobertura de regressão ausente for adicionada.
