gh-105716: Fix _PyInterpreterState_IsRunningMain() For Embedders (gh-117140)

When I added _PyInterpreterState_IsRunningMain() and friends last year, I tried 
to accommodate applications that embed Python but don't call 
_PyInterpreterState_SetRunningMain() (not that they're expected to).  That 
mostly worked fine until my recent changes in gh-117049, where the subtleties 
with the fallback code led to failures; the change ended up breaking 
test_tools.test_freeze, which exercises a basic embedding situation.

The simplest fix is to drop the fallback code I originally added to 
_PyInterpreterState_IsRunningMain() (and later to 
_PyThreadState_IsRunningMain()).  I've kept the fallback in the 
_xxsubinterpreters module though.  I've also updated Py_FrozenMain() to call 
_PyInterpreterState_SetRunningMain().
