bpo-40521: Disable Unicode caches in isolated subinterpreters (GH-19933)

When Python is built in the experimental isolated subinterpreters
mode, disable Unicode singletons and Unicode interned strings since
they are shared by all interpreters.

Temporary workaround until these caches are made per-interpreter.
