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.
