Fixes issue #15507: test_subprocess's test_send_signal could fail if the test

runner were run in an environment where the process inherited an ignore
setting for SIGINT.  Restore the SIGINT handler to the desired
KeyboardInterrupt raising one during that test.

 - Issue #18792: Use "127.0.0.1" or "::1" instead of "localhost" as much as
   possible, since "localhost" goes through a DNS lookup under recent Windows
   versions.
