bpo-42296: On Windows, fix CTRL+C regression (GH-23257)
On Windows, fix a regression in signal handling which prevented to interrupt a program using CTRL+C. The signal handler can be run in a thread different than the Python thread, in which case the test deciding if the thread can handle signals is wrong. On Windows, _PyEval_SignalReceived() now always sets eval_breaker to 1 since it cannot test _Py_ThreadCanHandleSignals(), and eval_frame_handle_pending() always calls _Py_ThreadCanHandleSignals() to recompute eval_breaker. (cherry picked from commit d96a7a83133250377219227b5cfab4dbdddc5d3a) Co-authored-by: Victor Stinner <vstinner@python.org>
