gh-135099: Only wait on _PyOS_SigintEvent() in main thread (GH-135100)

Browse source 
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.

Fix a crash that could occur on Windows when a background thread waits on a
:c:type:`PyMutex` while the main thread is shutting down the interpreter.
