This was added for bpo-40514 (gh-84694) to test out a per-interpreter GIL. However, it has since proven unnecessary to keep the experiment in the repo. (It can be done as a branch in a fork like normal.) So here we are removing:
* the configure option
* the macro
* the code enabled by the macro
Previously, the main interpreter was allocated on the heap during runtime initialization. Here we instead embed it into _PyRuntimeState, which means it is statically allocated as part of the _PyRuntime global. The same goes for the initial thread state (of each interpreter, including the main one). Consequently there are fewer allocations during runtime/interpreter init, fewer possible failures, and better memory locality.
FYI, this also helps efforts to consolidate globals, which in turns helps work on subinterpreter isolation.

The array of small PyLong objects has been statically declared. Here I also statically initialize them. Consequently they are no longer initialized dynamically during runtime init.
I've also moved them under a new sub-struct in _PyRuntimeState, in preparation for static allocation and initialization of other global objects.

This change is strictly renames and moving code around. It helps in the following ways:
* ensures type-related init functions focus strictly on one of the three aspects (state, objects, types)
* passes in PyInterpreterState * to all those functions, simplifying work on moving types/objects/state to the interpreter
* consistent naming conventions help make what's going on more clear
* keeping API related to a type in the corresponding header file makes it more obvious where to look for it

Previously, basic initialization of PyInterprterState happened in PyInterpreterState_New() (along with allocation and adding the new interpreter to the runtime state). This prevented us from initializing interpreter states that were allocated separately (e.g. statically or in a free list). We've addressed that here by factoring out a separate function just for initialization. We've done the same for PyThreadState. _PyRuntimeState was sorted out when we added it since _PyRuntime is statically allocated. However, here we update the existing init code to line up with the functions for PyInterpreterState and PyThreadState.

Fix the _PyUnicode_FromId() function (_Py_IDENTIFIER(var) API) when
Py_Initialize() / Py_Finalize() is called multiple times:
preserve _PyRuntime.unicode_ids.next_index value.
Use _PyRuntimeState_INIT macro instead memset(0) to reset
_PyRuntimeState members to zero.
Make _PyUnicode_FromId() function compatible with subinterpreters.
Each interpreter now has an array of identifier objects (interned
strings decoded from UTF-8).
* Add PyInterpreterState.unicode.identifiers: array of identifiers
objects.
* Add _PyRuntimeState.unicode_ids used to allocate unique indexes
to _Py_Identifier.
* Rewrite the _Py_Identifier structure.
Microbenchmark on _PyUnicode_FromId(&PyId_a) with _Py_IDENTIFIER(a):
[ref] 2.42 ns +- 0.00 ns -> [atomic] 3.39 ns +- 0.00 ns: 1.40x slower
This change adds 1 ns per _PyUnicode_FromId() call in average.
PyOS_AfterFork_Child() helper functions now return a PyStatus:
PyOS_AfterFork_Child() is now responsible to handle errors.
* Move _PySignal_AfterFork() to the internal C API
* Add #ifdef HAVE_FORK on _PyGILState_Reinit(), _PySignal_AfterFork()
and _PyInterpreterState_DeleteExceptMain().
In the experimental isolated subinterpreters build mode, the GIL is
now per-interpreter.
Move gil from _PyRuntimeState.ceval to PyInterpreterState.ceval.
new_interpreter() always get the config from the main interpreter.
Move recursion_limit member from _PyRuntimeState.ceval to
PyInterpreterState.ceval.
* Py_SetRecursionLimit() now only sets _Py_CheckRecursionLimit
of ceval.c if the current Python thread is part of the main
interpreter.
* Inline _Py_MakeEndRecCheck() into _Py_LeaveRecursiveCall().
* Convert _Py_RecursionLimitLowerWaterMark() macro into a static
inline function.
