[3.13] gh-88110: Clear concurrent.futures.thread._threads_queues after fork to avoid joining parent process' threads (GH-126098) (GH-127163)

Threads are gone after fork, so clear the queues too. Otherwise the
child process (here created via multiprocessing.Process) crashes on
interpreter exit.

(cherry picked from commit 1848ce6)
