Initialization of dpctl to set subprocess to not use FORK on Linux

Fork is not supported by DPC++ runtime. Attempt to use fork may
cause hangs, or incorrect behavior. In particular, it may affect
working on oneapi-gdb.

To enable smooth experience in debugging kernels launched by
dpctl, or extensions built using dpctl C++ API, initialization
of dpctl on Linux, imports subprocess and sets its configuration
variables to use SPAWN over FORK
