[3.15] gh-82183: Do not restart the busy IDLE shell when running without restart (GH-152745) (#152832)

gh-82183: Do not restart the busy IDLE shell when running without restart (GH-152745)

"Run... Customized" with "Restart shell" unchecked restarted the shell
anyway when it was busy executing code, killing any pending input.  It now
reports that the shell is executing just once, not twice, and does not run.
(cherry picked from commit be449b1)
