+Split test_multiprocessing_fork, test_multiprocessing_forkserver and
+test_multiprocessing_spawn into test packages. Each package is made of 4
+sub-tests: processes, threads, manager and misc. It allows running more tests
+in parallel and so reduce the total test duration. Patch by Victor Stinner.
