gh-128041: Add `terminate_workers` and `kill_workers` methods to ProcessPoolExecutor (GH-130849)

This adds two new methods to `multiprocessing`'s `ProcessPoolExecutor`:
- **`terminate_workers()`**: forcefully terminates worker processes using `Process.terminate()`
- **`kill_workers()`**: forcefully kills worker processes using `Process.kill()`

These methods provide users with a direct way to stop worker processes without `shutdown()` or relying on implementation details, addressing situations where immediate termination is needed.
