bpo-32604: [_xxsubinterpreters] Propagate exceptions. (GH-19768)

(Note: PEP 554 is not accepted and the implementation in the code base is a private one for use in the test suite.)

If code running in a subinterpreter raises an uncaught exception then the "run" call in the calling interpreter fails. A RunFailedError is raised there that summarizes the original exception as a string. The actual exception type, __cause__, __context__, state, etc. are all discarded. This turned out to be functionally insufficient in practice. There is a more helpful solution (and PEP 554 has been updated appropriately).

This change adds the exception propagation behavior described in PEP 554 to the _xxsubinterpreters module. With this change a copy of the original exception is set to __cause__ on the RunFailedError. For now we are using "pickle", which preserves the exception's state. We also preserve the original __cause__, __context__, and __traceback__ (since "pickle" does not preserve those).
