`multiprocessing.Pool` is incompatible with `concurrent.interpreters`

Bug report

Bug description:

Trying to create a mutliprocessing.Pool in a sub-interpreter fails due to the use of daemon threads.

How I ran into it: as an experiment, I was trying to run pytest in a sub-interpreter (on its own test suite). One of the tests is using multiprocessing.Pool and fails. (There are other failures, particularly faulthandler and readline incompatibilities, but those are unrelated to this issue).

If mutliprocessing.Pool and concurrent.interpreters are fundamentally incompatible for some reason, perhaps it can be documented.

from concurrent import interpreters

interp = interpreters.create()

interp.exec("""
import multiprocessing
pool = multiprocessing.Pool()
""")

Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "x.py", line 5, in <module>
    interp.exec("""
    ~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^
    import multiprocessing
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    pool = multiprocessing.Pool()

    """)

I'd also note that multiprocessing.Queue uses daemon thread:
