bpo-40692: Run more test_concurrent_futures tests (GH-20239)
In the case of multiprocessing.synchronize() being missing, the test_concurrent_futures test suite now skips only the tests that require multiprocessing.synchronize(). Validate that multiprocessing.synchronize exists as part of _check_system_limits(), allowing ProcessPoolExecutor to raise NotImplementedError during __init__, rather than crashing with ImportError during __init__ when creating a lock imported from multiprocessing.synchronize. Use _check_system_limits() to disable tests of ProcessPoolExecutor on systems without multiprocessing.synchronize. Running the test suite without multiprocessing.synchronize reveals that Lib/compileall.py crashes when it uses a ProcessPoolExecutor. Therefore, change Lib/compileall.py to call _check_system_limits() before creating the ProcessPoolExecutor. Note that both Lib/compileall.py and Lib/test/test_compileall.py were attempting to sanity-check ProcessPoolExecutor by expecting ImportError. In multiprocessing.resource_tracker, sem_unlink() is also absent on platforms where POSIX semaphores aren't available. Avoid using sem_unlink() if it, too, does not exist.

+In the :class:`concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor`, validate that :func:`multiprocess.synchronize` is available on a given platform and rely on that check in the :mod:`concurrent.futures` test suite so we can run tests that are unrelated to :class:`ProcessPoolExecutor` on those platforms.
