_signals.py: allow calling signal handler from non-main threadsbschubert/signals

This modifies the signal terminator so that it can be called from any
thread.

This checks that either:

- The signal handler is already in place
- Or the caller is in the main thread, allowing to set the signal
  handler.

This also removes the exact callback that was added instead of removing
the last one, and fixes the `suspend_handler` to do the same.

This is required, as we don't know which interleaving of calls will be
done, and we can't guarantee that the last one is the right one to
remove
