bpo-40453: Add PyConfig._isolated_subinterpreter (GH-19820)

An isolated subinterpreter cannot spawn threads, spawn a child
process or call os.fork().

* Add private _Py_NewInterpreter(isolated_subinterpreter) function.
* Add isolated=True keyword-only parameter to
  _xxsubinterpreters.create().
* Allow again os.fork() in "non-isolated" subinterpreters.
