gh-145966: Fix _csv DIALECT_GETATTR macro silently masking non-AttributeError exceptions (GH-145974)

The DIALECT_GETATTR macro in dialect_new() unconditionally called
PyErr_Clear() when PyObject_GetAttrString() failed, which suppressed
all exceptions including MemoryError, KeyboardInterrupt, and
RuntimeError. Now only AttributeError is cleared; other exceptions
propagate via the existing error handling path.
