[issue20891] PyGILState_Ensure on non-Python thread causes fatal error

I proposed PR 5421 to fix Python 3.6: modify Py_Initialize() to call PyEval_InitThreads().

I'm not sure of Python 2.7. Not only the backport is not straighforward, but I'm not sure that I want to touch the super-stable 2.7 branch. Maybe for 2.7, I should just remove the currently skipped test_bpo20891() test from test_capi.

What do you think?
