* Remove Setup.config
* Always define WITH_THREAD for compatibility.

These were broken in 3aec776fc796 when they were converted
away from using support.run_unittest().  Oops :)

Initial patch by Felippe da Motta Raposo.

I have compared output between pre- and post-patch runs of these tests
to make sure there's nothing missing and nothing broken, on both
Windows and Linux.  The only differences I found were actually tests
that were previously *not* run.

* Tolerate 10 seconds instead of 3 seconds for slow test
* Faster test, use sleep of 100 ms instead of 1 sec
* Replace a number of iterations with an explicit deadline for the timeout

To make sure there is no issue with code that is both Python 2 and 3
compatible, there are no plans to remove the module any sooner than
Python 4 (unless the community moves to Python 3 solidly before then).

  Issue #7449 part 3, test_doctest: import trace module in test_coverage()

  Import trace module fail if the threading module is missing. test_coverage() is
  only used if test_doctest.py is used with the -c option. This commit allows to
  execute the test suite without thread support.

  Move "import trace" in test_coverage() and use
  test_support.import_module('trace').

  Fix issue #1590864, multiple threads and fork() can cause deadlocks, by
  acquiring the import lock around fork() calls. This prevents other threads
  from having that lock while the fork happens, and is the recommended way of
  dealing with such issues. There are two other locks we care about, the GIL
  and the Thread Local Storage lock. The GIL is obviously held when calling
  Python functions like os.fork(), and the TLS lock is explicitly reallocated
  instead, while also deleting now-orphaned TLS data.

  This only fixes calls to os.fork(), not extension modules or embedding
  programs calling C's fork() directly. Solving that requires a new set of API
  functions, and possibly a rewrite of the Python/thread_*.c mess. Add a
  warning explaining the problem to the documentation in the mean time.

  This also changes behaviour a little on AIX. Before, AIX (but only AIX) was
  getting the import lock reallocated, seemingly to avoid this very same
  problem. This is not the right approach, because the import lock is a
  re-entrant one, and reallocating would do the wrong thing when forking while
  holding the import lock.

  Will backport to 2.6, minus the tiny AIX behaviour change.

  Add import_function method to test.test_support, and modify a number of
  tests that expect to be skipped if imports fail or functions don't
  exist to use import_function and import_module.  The ultimate goal is
  to change regrtest to not skip automatically on ImportError.  Checking
  in now to make sure the buldbots don't show any errors on platforms
  I can't direct test on.

  A few more test skips via import_module, and change import_module to
  return the error message produced by importlib, so that if an import
  in the package whose import is being wrapped is what failed the skip
  message will contain the name of that module instead of the name of the
  wrapped module.  Also fixed formatting of some previous comments.
