gh-112536: Add --tsan test for reasonable TSAN execution times.

[corona10]

• Issue: Add support for thread sanitizer (TSAN) via --with-thread-sanitizer #112536

---

📚 Documentation preview 📚: https://cpython-previews--116601.org.readthedocs.build/

[corona10]

I am going to update the list of supressions.txt when working on the CI things.

==14799==ThreadSanitizer: starting new threads after multi-threaded fork is not supported. Dying (set die_after_fork=0 to override)

@colesbury
We may need to decide which tests should be included.

• Successful tests only?
• Add failed tests too but update supressions.txt for this?

[corona10]

We may need to decide which tests should be included.

Anyway, we should exclude some of test from the list since it takes over 1 hours :)

I think that this setting could be the minimum setup for adding TSAN in CI.
We can add more tests if needed. Here is the local execution result from my Azure VM Ubuntu.
(Standard D4s v3, ubuntu 22.04)
And I recommend not using --with-pydebug. It's super slow, but let's see if it will be an acceptable execution time on GA.

Can you explain what "TSAN test" means here? From the rest of the diff it sounds like it's "Tests that pass in a reasonable amount of time with TSAN enabled", but that's not clear from this help string.

[colesbury]

I don't think test_tuple uses threads. I don't think it's worthwhile to run tests that don't use threads, because we won't uncover anything new with TSAN.

[corona10]

I got it; I removed more tests that are not using the thread currently.

[corona10]

@swtaarrs It will be the more clear?

[swtaarrs]

Sorry, I completely missed this notification. Looks good to me :)

[colesbury]

This looks like a good start to me. We can build on it (edit the list of tests and suppressions) in the future.
