…ythonGH-135100) On Windows, the `_PyOS_SigintEvent()` event handle is used to interrupt the main thread when Ctrl-C is pressed. Previously, we also waited on the event from other threads, but ignored the result. However, this can race with interpreter shutdown because the main thread closes the handle in `_PySignal_Fini` and threads may still be running and using mutexes during interpreter shtudown. Only use `_PyOS_SigintEvent()` in the main thread in parking_lot.c, like we do in other places in the CPython codebase.
