gh-100228: Warn from os.fork() if other threads exist. (#100229)

Not comprehensive, best effort warning. There are cases when threads exist on some platforms that this code cannot detect. macOS when API permissions allow and Linux with a readable /proc procfs present are the currently supported cases where a warning should show up reliably.

Starting with a DeprecationWarning for now, it is less disruptive than something like RuntimeWarning and most likely to only be seen in people's CI tests - a good place to start with this messaging.
