When shutdown is called with wait=False, the executor thread keeps running even after the ProcessPoolExecutor's state is reset. The executor then tries to replenish the worker processes pool resulting in an error and a potential hang when it comes across a worker that has died. Fixed the issue by having _adjust_process_count() return without doing anything if the ProcessPoolExecutor's state has been reset.

Added unit tests to validate two scenarios:
max_workers < num_tasks (exception)
max_workers > num_tasks (exception + hang)

Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.
