I think test_embed would be the right home for this, as there's an existing 
test case there for subinterpreter lifecycles and repeated init/finalize 
cycles: 
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/ddbb978e1065dde21d1662386b26ded359f4b16e/Programs/_testembed.c#L43

The test case here would be similar, but it wouldn't need the outer loop - it 
would just create a handful of subinterpreters, but instead of ending each one 
before creating the next one the way the existing test does, what it would 
instead do is:

* setup as per the existing test case
* create a pair of subinterpeters, using a copy of the existing loop, but 
omitting the `Py_EndInterpreter` call
* switch back to the main interpreter
* create a second pair of subinterpeters
* switch back to the main interpreter
* call Py_Finalize

It also occurs to me that we don't currently have a test case for what happens 
if you call Py_Finalize from a subinterpreter rather than the main interpreter.
