gh-109860: Use a New Thread State When Switching Interpreters, When Necessary (gh-110245)

Browse source 
In a few places we switch to another interpreter without knowing if it has a thread state associated with the current thread.  For the main interpreter there wasn't much of a problem, but for subinterpreters we were *mostly* okay re-using the tstate created with the interpreter (located via PyInterpreterState_ThreadHead()).  There was a good chance that tstate wasn't actually in use by another thread.

However, there are no guarantees of that.  Furthermore, re-using an already used tstate is currently fragile.  To address this, now we create a new thread state in each of those places and use it.

One consequence of this change is that PyInterpreterState_ThreadHead() may not return NULL (though that won't happen for the main interpreter).
