This is a patch to collect cyclic garbage one more time when all modules have been cleared.

I was asked what this patch did exactly: it simply calls the garbage collector one last time after sys.modules has been cleared. I don't know it it makes much of a difference, but it may limit the amount of leaking when doing successive Py_Initialize/Py_Finalize calls.
