Integrate pytest-faulthandler into the core

* Add pytest-faulthandler files unchanged
* Adapt imports and tests
* Add code to skip registration of the external `pytest_faulthandler`
  to avoid conflicts

+The `faulthandler <https://docs.python.org/3/library/faulthandler.html>`__ standard library

+This functionality was provided by integrating the external

+
+The `faulthandler <https://docs.python.org/3/library/faulthandler.html>`__ standard module
+can be used to dump Python tracebacks on a segfault or after a timeout.
+
+The module is automatically enabled for pytest runs, unless the ``--no-faulthandler`` is given
+on the command-line.
+
+Also the ``--faulthandler-timeout=X`` can be used to dump the traceback of all threads if a test
+takes longer than ``X`` seconds to finish (not available on Windows).
