[issue7544] Fatal error on thread creation in low memory condition

[STINNER Victor]

Here I come with a patch! nirai idea was the good one: prealloc PyThreadState before creating the thread. Raise a MemoryError if the allocation fail, instead of raising a *fatal* Python error.

Patch is quite simple and allow better error handling.
