Use multiprocessing start_method "forkserver" (#4306)

Browse Source 
* Use `multiprocessing` `start_method` `"forkserver"`

Alternative to PR #4305

* Add link to comment under PR #4105

* Unconditionally `pytest.skip("DEADLOCK")` for PyPy Windows

* Remove `SKIP_IF_DEADLOCK` entirely, for simplicity. Hopefully this PR will resolve the deadlocks for good.

* Add "In a nutshell" comment, in response to request by @EricCousineau-TRI

# In a nutshell: fork() after starting threads == flakiness in the form of deadlocks.
# It is actually a well-known pitfall, unfortunately without guard rails.
# "forkserver" is more performant than "spawn" (~9s vs ~13s for tests/test_gil_scoped.py,
# visit the issuecomment link above for details).
# Windows does not have fork() and the associated pitfall, therefore it is best left
# running with defaults.
