The C-API docs are a bit sparse on the interplay between C fork() and the CPython runtime. This change adds some more information on the subject.

overall this makes sense. I wonder if there might be more nuance here as this is discussing the C level fork() syscall, but I don't think it is worth trying to go into and explain that if there is. :)
