bpo-37266: Daemon threads are now denied in subinterpreters (GH-14049)
In a subinterpreter, spawning a daemon thread now raises an exception. Daemon threads were never supported in subinterpreters. Previously, the subinterpreter finalization crashed with a Pyton fatal error if a daemon thread was still running. * Add _thread._is_main_interpreter() * threading.Thread.start() now raises RuntimeError if the thread is a daemon thread and the method is called from a subinterpreter. * The _thread module now uses Argument Clinic for the new function. * Use textwrap.dedent() in test_threading.SubinterpThreadingTests
