For build determinism, the enabling option is useful too, even if
upstream is not likely to change defaults or introduce some kind of
auto-detection.

One of the main points in the Python 3.14.x release notes was that free threading is officially supported. Add PACKAGECONFIG[freethreading] to turn it on with --disable-gil. GIL is the Global Interpreter Lock, which is kept enabled without this option. By default, keep free threading disabled, i.e. GIL enabled.
