When os.fork() is called (on platforms that support it) all threads but the current one are destroyed in the child process. Consequently we must ensure that all but the associated interpreter are likewise destroyed. The main interpreter is critical for runtime operation, so we must ensure that fork only happens in the main interpreter.

bpo-6721: When os.fork() was called while another thread holds a logging lock, the child process may deadlock when it tries to log. This fixes that by acquiring all logging locks before fork and releasing them afterwards.
A regression test that fails before this change is included.
Within the new unittest itself: There is a small _potential_ due to mixing of fork and a thread in the child process if the parent's thread happened to hold a non-reentrant library call lock (malloc?) when the os.fork() happens. buildbots and time will tell if this actually manifests itself in this test or not. :/ A functionality test that avoids that would be a challenge.
An alternate test that isn't trying to produce the deadlock itself but just checking that the release and acquire calls are made would be the next best alternative if so.
This causes the tearDown code to only unimport the test modules specifically created as part of each test via the self.mkhier method rather than abusing test.support.modules_setup() and the scary test.support.modules_cleanup() code.

Returning EINTR from pthread semaphore or lock acquisition is an optional POSIX
feature. musl does not provide this feature, so some threadsignal tests fail
when Python is built against it.
There's no good way to test for musl, so we skip if we're on Linux and not using
glibc pthreads.
Also, hedge in the threading documentation about when we can provide interrupts
from lock acquisition.
Store a weak reference to stream readerfor breaking strong references
It breaks the strong reference loop between reader and protocol and allows to detect and close the socket if the stream is deleted (garbage collected)
When subprocess.Popen() stdin= stdout= or stderr= handles are specified
and appear in pass_fds=, don't close the original fds after dup'ing them.
This implementation and unittest primarily came from @izbyshev (see the PR)

This also removes the old manual p2cread, c2pwrite, and errwrite closing logic
as inheritable flags and _close_open_fds takes care of that properly today without special treatment.
This code is within child_exec() where it is the only thread so there is no
race condition between the dup and _Py_set_inheritable_async_safe call.
The recursive frame pruning code always undercounted the number of elided frames
by one. That is, in the "[Previous line repeated N more times]" message, N would
always be one too few. Near the recursive pruning cutoff, one frame could be
silently dropped. That situation is demonstrated in the OP of the bug report.
The fix is to start the identical frame counter at 1.
* Make sure that when some of the tests in test_smtplib fail, the allocated threads
and sockets are not leaked.
* Use support.join_thread() instead of thread.join() to avoid infinite blocks.
Some methods of the SMTP class use mutable default arguments. Specially
`send_message` is affected as it mutates one of the args by appending items
to it, which has side effects on further calls.
