gh-102512: Turn _DummyThread into _MainThread after os.fork() called from a foreign thread (GH-113261)
Always set a _MainThread as a main thread after os.fork() is called from a thread started not by the threading module. A new _MainThread was already set as a new main thread after fork if threading.current_thread() was not called for a foreign thread before fork. Now, if it was called before fork, the implicitly created _DummyThread will be turned into _MainThread after fork. It fixes, in particularly, an incompatibility of _DummyThread with the threading shutdown logic which relies on the main thread having tstate_lock.
