[issue8299] Improve GIL in 2.7

[Kristján Valur Jónsson]

Yes, we put #error in both places (defining and undefining USE_SEMAPHORES).  The colleague in question is Christian Tismer, he is unlikely to have gotten it wrong.  I am also curious why David Beazley kept talking about the "binary semaphore" when it is apparent that that is supposed to be a "hack" to use on platforms that don't have posix semaphores.

This gets curiouser and curiouser.
