[issue19478] Add ability to prefix posix semaphore names created by multiprocessing module

[Marc Liyanage]

Marc Liyanage added the comment:

I'm thinking something along the lines of

    char *env = Py_GETENV("PYTHONSEMAPHOREPREFIX");
    if (env && *env != '\0') {
        PyOS_snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%s/mp%ld-%d", env, (long)getpid(), counter++);
    } else {
        PyOS_snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "/mp%ld-%d", (long)getpid(), counter++);
    }
