gh-76785: Add PyInterpreterConfig Helpers (gh-117170)

These helpers make it easier to customize and inspect the config used to initialize interpreters.  This is especially valuable in our tests.  I found inspiration from the PyConfig API for the PyInterpreterConfig dict conversion stuff.  As part of this PR I've also added a bunch of tests.
