Following the suggestion in #2346 (comment) this changes #[pymodule] to raise an ImportError if initialised more than once. This seems to be a necessary defence against soundness issues related to sub-interpreters.

Allow the subinterpreter safeguards to be disabled, so that applications
like Ceph's manager can continue to use pyo3 modules without soft
crashing.

Enabling this feature should be done with caution, as any storage of Py
objects in rust statics can lead to undefined behavior.

However, not all consumers of pyo3 use global state, and thus a subset
of them (such as python-bcrypt) are safe to use in subinterpreter
contexts.
