bitbake: server/process: Disable gc around critical sectionyocto-3.3.6hardknott-3.3.6

The python gc can trigger whilst we're holding the event stream lock
and when cleaning up objects, they can trigger warnings. This translates
into a new event which would then need the lock and we can deadlock.

Disable gc whilst we hold that lock to avoid this unfortunate and
problematic situation.
