Simplify free-threading test to avoid debug assertion abort
In debug builds, Py_BEGIN_CRITICAL_SECTION can suspend during Python calls (e.g. __eq__ in md_calc_identity), allowing another thread to enter. The md_replace finder pattern uses hash=-1 markers internally, and ASSERT_CONSISTENT inside md_finder_cleanup catches this temporary inconsistency, calling abort(). Remove del operations from the writer loop since simple set+read is sufficient to exercise the core resize race fix.
