bpo-30705: Fix test_regrtest.test_crashed() (#2439)

* Add test.support._crash_python() which triggers a crash but uses
  test.support.SuppressCrashReport() to prevent a crash report from
  popping up.
* Modify test_child_terminated_in_stopped_state() of test_subprocess
  and test_crashed() of test_regrtest to use _crash_python().
