[issue15751] Support subinterpreters in the GIL state API

[Mark Hammond]

Mark Hammond added the comment:

The GIL state api was mainly interested in the case of a thread which has (possibly) never been seen before calling into Python.  IIUC, the proposal here is so that a thread that *has* been seen before can be associated with a thread-state specified by the embedding application (and the degenerate case would be to assume the thread hasn't been seen, and as such should get the default interpreter)

If that isn't too wide of the mark, I agree it sounds workable and worthwhile.
