Add a crasher to Lib/test for issue #26153. This crasher doesn't crash (#6518)

Python 3.6, although I've seen the same crash in 3.6 (when involving
extension types and more complicated threading setups).

+"""
+Expose a race in the _warnings module, which is the C backend for the
+warnings module. The "_warnings" module tries to access attributes of the
+"warnings" module (because of the API it has to support), but doing so
+during interpreter shutdown is problematic. Specifically, the call to
+PyImport_GetModuleDict() in Python/_warnings.c:get_warnings_attr will
+abort() if the modules dict has already been cleaned up.
+
+This crasher is timing-dependent, and more threads (NUM_THREADS) may be
+necessary to expose it reliably on different systems.
