bpo-42146: Unify cleanup in subprocess_fork_exec() (GH-22970)

* bpo-42146: Unify cleanup in subprocess_fork_exec()

Also ignore errors from _enable_gc():
* They are always suppressed by the current code due to a bug.
* _enable_gc() is only used if `preexec_fn != None`, which is unsafe.
* We don't have a good way to handle errors in case we successfully
  created a child process.
