bpo-43390: Set SA_ONSTACK in PyOS_setsig (GH-24730)

This is friendlier to other in-process code that an extension module or
embedding use could pull in such as CGo where tiny stacks are the norm
and sigaltstack() has been used to provide for signal handlers.

Without this, signals received by a process using tiny stacks may lead
to stack overflow crashes.
