bpo-41710: PyThread_acquire_lock_timed() clamps the timout (GH-28643)
PyThread_acquire_lock_timed() now clamps the timeout into the [_PyTime_MIN; _PyTime_MAX] range (_PyTime_t type) if it is too large, rather than calling Py_FatalError() which aborts the process. PyThread_acquire_lock_timed() no longer uses MICROSECONDS_TO_TIMESPEC() to compute sem_timedwait() argument, but _PyTime_GetSystemClock() and _PyTime_AsTimespec_truncate(). Fix _thread.TIMEOUT_MAX value on Windows: the maximum timeout is 0x7FFFFFFF milliseconds (around 24.9 days), not 0xFFFFFFFF milliseconds (around 49.7 days). Set PY_TIMEOUT_MAX to 0x7FFFFFFF milliseconds, rather than 0xFFFFFFFF milliseconds. Fix PY_TIMEOUT_MAX overflow test: replace (us >= PY_TIMEOUT_MAX) with (us > PY_TIMEOUT_MAX).
