Issue #8407, issue #11859: Add signal.pthread_sigmask() function to fetch
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.
Original patch written by Jean-Paul Calderone.
