Bug report

Bug description:

This affects the following situations:

• _hmac.new() frees an uninitialized HACL pointer when the key exceeds UINT32_MAX
• _hmac_HMAC_copy_impl runs HASHLIB_INIT_MUTEX(copy) after the fallible hmac_copy_state

The solution is simply to always entirely initialize the HMAC object before working with it. We also change the usage of PyObject_New to tp->tp_alloc directly so that we only alter fields for which the 0-value would not be suitable.
