[3.12] gh-125451: Fix deadlock in ProcessPoolExecutor shutdown (GH-12…

…5492) (#125599)

There was a deadlock when `ProcessPoolExecutor` shuts down at the same
time that a queueing thread handles an error processing a task.

Don't use `_shutdown_lock` to protect the `_ThreadWakeup` pipes -- use
an internal lock instead. This fixes the ordering deadlock where the
`ExecutorManagerThread` holds the `_shutdown_lock` and joins the
queueing thread, while the queueing thread is attempting to acquire the
`_shutdown_lock` while closing the `_ThreadWakeup`.
(cherry picked from commit 760872e)
