Issue #23848: On Windows, faulthandler.enable() now also installs an exception
handler to dump the traceback of all Python threads on any Windows exception,
not only on UNIX signals (SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGABRT).
Issue #26563:
* Add _PyGILState_GetInterpreterStateUnsafe() function: the single
PyInterpreterState used by this process' GILState implementation.
* Enhance _Py_DumpTracebackThreads() to retrieve the interpreter state from
autoInterpreterState in last resort. The function now accepts NULL for interp
and current_tstate parameters.
* test_faulthandler: fix a ResourceWarning when test is interrupted by CTRL+c
mode. Explicitly remove the PYTHONFAULTHANDLER environment variable before
launching a child interpreter when its presence would impact the test (the
reason -E was being used in the first place).
This enables running the test in an environment where other Python environment variables must be set in order for things to run (such as using PYTHONHOME to
tell an embedded interpreter where it should think it lives).

_read_null(), because _read_null() cannot be used on AIX. On AIX, reading from
NULL is allowed: the first page of memory is a mapped read-only on AIX.
_read_null() and _sigabrt() don't accept parameters.
- Use _testcapi.raise_signal() in test_signal
- close also os.pipe() file descriptors in some test_signal tests where they
were not closed properly
- Remove faulthandler._sigill() and faulthandler._sigbus(): reuse
_testcapi.raise_signal() in test_faulthandler
AIX maps the first page of memory at address zero as valid, read-only. Reading
NULL is not a fault on AIX. This is utilized by IBM compiler optimizations.
One speculatively can indirect through a pointer which may be null without
first testing if null and defer the test before using the value.

faulthandler requires the importlib if "-X faulthandler" option is present on
the command line, so initialize faulthandler after importlib.
Add also an unit test.
* Set the default value of all_threads arguments to True
* Py_FatalError() dumps all threads, instead of only the current thread
Dump only the current thread is not reliable. In some cases, Python is unable
to retrieve the state of the current thread and so is unable to dump the
traceback. faulthandler keeps a reference to the interpreter and so is always
able to dump the traceback of all threads.
* Write a new test to ensure that dump_tracebacks_later() still works if
it was already called and then cancelled before
* Don't use a variable to check the status of the thread, only rely on locks
* The thread only releases cancel_event if it was able to acquire it (if
the timer was interrupted)
* The main thread always hold this lock. It is only released when
faulthandler_thread() is interrupted until this thread exits, or at Python
exit.
time.time() and/or time.sleep() are not accurate on Windows, don't test them
in test_faulthandler. Anyway, the check was written for an old implementation
of dump_tracebacks_later(), it is not more needed.
The traceback may contain "_is_owned":
