Ensure that the main interpreter is active (in the main thread) for signal-handling operations. This is increasingly relevant as people use subinterpreters more.

This change separates the signal handling trigger in the eval loop from the "pending calls" machinery. There is no semantic change and the difference in performance is insignificant.
The change makes both components less confusing. It also eliminates the risk of changes to the pending calls affecting signal handling. This is particularly relevant for some upcoming pending calls changes I have in the works.
As in title, expose C `raise` function as `raise_function` in `signal` module. Also drop existing `raise_signal` in `_testcapi` module and replace all usages with new function.

Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS excluding Argument Clinic generated code.
Introduce a configure check for strsignal(3) which defines HAVE_STRSIGNAL for
signalmodule.c. Add some common signals on HP-UX. This change applies for
Windows and HP-UX.
* 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.

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:

* 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.
PyStructSequence_InitType() except that it has a return value (0 on success,
-1 on error).
* PyStructSequence_InitType2() now raises MemoryError on memory allocation failure
* Fix also some calls to PyDict_SetItemString(): handle error
pthread_t is a pointer, not an integer, on FreeBSD. It should fix the following
gcc warning:
passing argument 1 of ‘pthread_kill’ makes pointer from integer without a cast
called. The test checks that SIG_UNBLOCK calls immediatly the signal handler of
the pending SIGUSR1. Improve also the tests using an exception (division by
zero) instead of a flag (a function attribute).
and/or change the signal mask of the calling thread.
Fix also tests of test_io using threads and an alarm: use pthread_sigmask() to
ensure that the SIGALRM signal is received by the main thread.
