bpo-41435: Add sys._current_exceptions() function (GH-21689)

This adds a new function named sys._current_exceptions() which is equivalent ot
sys._current_frames() except that it returns the exceptions currently handled
by other threads. It is equivalent to calling sys.exc_info() for each running
thread.
