Emscripten builds cannot handle signals in the usual way due to platform
limitations. Python can now handle signals. To use, set
Module.Py_EmscriptenSignalBuffer to be a single byte SharedArrayBuffer and
set Py_EMSCRIPTEN_SIGNAL_HANDLING to 1. Writing a number into the
SharedArrayBuffer will cause the corresponding signal to be raised into the
Python thread.

Fix :func:`binascii.crc32` when it is compiled to use zlib'c crc32 to work
properly on inputs 4+GiB in length instead of returning the wrong result.
The workaround prior to this was to always feed the function data in
increments smaller than 4GiB or to just call the zlib module function.

We also have :func:`binascii.crc32` release the GIL when computing on larger
inputs as :func:`zlib.crc32` and :mod:`hashlib` do.

This also boosts performance on Windows as it now uses the zlib crc32
implementation for :func:`binascii.crc32` for a 2-3x speedup.

That the stdlib has a crc32 API in two modules is a known historical oddity.
This moves us closer to a single implementation behind them.

Define *posix_venv* and *nt_venv* :ref:`sysconfig installation schemes
<installation_paths>` to be used for bootstrapping new virtual environments.
Add *venv* sysconfig installation scheme to get the appropriate one of the
above. The schemes are identical to the pre-existing *posix_prefix* and *nt*
install schemes. The :mod:`venv` module now uses the *venv* scheme to create
new virtual environments instead of hardcoding the paths depending only on
the platform. Downstream Python distributors customizing the *posix_prefix*
or *nt* install scheme in a way that is not compatible with the install
scheme used in virtual environments are encouraged not to customize the
*venv* schemes. When Python itself runs in a virtual environment,
:func:`sysconfig.get_default_scheme` and
:func:`sysconfig.get_preferred_scheme` with ``key="prefix"`` returns *venv*.
