* Expose the sigset_t converter via private API _Py_Sigset_Converter().
* Use Argument Clinic for parsing sigset_t in signalmodule.c.
* Raise ValueError instead OverflowError for integers out of
the C long range.
Based on patch by Pablo Galindo Salgado.
Starting with glibc 2.27.9000-xxx, sigaddset() can return EINVAL for some
reserved signal numbers between 1 and NSIG. The `range(1, NSIG)` idiom
is commonly used to select all signals for blocking with `pthread_sigmask`.
So we ignore the sigaddset() return value until we expose sigfillset()
to provide a better idiom.

Avoid using Py_AddPendingCall from signal handler, to avoid calling signal-unsafe functions.
* Remove unused function
* Improve comments
* Use _Py_atomic API for concurrency-sensitive signal state
* Add blurb

Before, it was possible to get the following sequence of
events (especially on Windows, where the C-level signal handler for
SIGINT is run in a separate thread):
- SIGINT arrives
- trip_signal is called
- trip_signal writes to the wakeup fd
- the main thread wakes up from select()-or-equivalent
- the main thread checks for pending signals, but doesn't see any
- the main thread drains the wakeup fd
- the main thread goes back to sleep
- trip_signal sets is_tripped=1 and calls Py_AddPendingCall to notify
the main thread the it should run the Python-level signal handler
- the main thread doesn't notice because it's asleep
This has been causing repeated failures in the Trio test suite:
https://github.com/python-trio/trio/issues/119
* bpo-6532: Make the thread id an unsigned integer.
From C API side the type of results of PyThread_start_new_thread() and
PyThread_get_thread_ident(), the id parameter of
PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(), and the thread_id field of PyThreadState
changed from "long" to "unsigned long".
* Restore a check in thread_get_ident().
Patch by Masayuki Yamamoto, reviewed and rebased by Erik Bray.
This is a first step on the long road toward resupporting Cygwin, which does
not provide siginfo_t.si_band.
when interrupted by a signal not in the *sigset* parameter, if the signal
handler does not raise an exception. signal.sigtimedwait() recomputes the
timeout with a monotonic clock when it is retried.
Remove test_signal.test_sigwaitinfo_interrupted() because sigwaitinfo() doesn't
raise InterruptedError anymore if it is interrupted by a signal not in its
sigset parameter.
