[New-bugs-announce] [issue17148] mingw: nt thread model detection

[Roumen Petrov]

New submission from Roumen Petrov:

Proposed  patch adds test for NT-threads to configure script . It was part of issue3871 and is related only to threading support.

Unlike previous one new patch avoid changes in code like #if A undef B or similar.
For instance 
- avoid presence of header pthread.h in Python/ceval.c and  Python/thread.c (HAVE_PTHREAD_H dependency)
- avoid detection of function pthread_kill  in Modules/signalmodule.c (HAVE_PTHREAD_KILL)
- avoid sem_open() Modules/_multiprocessing/multiprocessing.c (HAVE_SEM_OPEN)
( see patch for reason to skip those checks at configure time)
