Replaced the previous method of installing, saving, and restoring signal handlers with a more streamlined and standard approach using signal masks (pthread_sigmask, sigtimedwait) for blocking receive operations. This update enhances the consistency and reliability of signal handling, aligning with best practices. It also removes the need for msgq_poll, thereby improving the efficiency of the receive function.
Additionally, a new test case, test_receive_interrupts_on_sigint, has been added to confirm and verify the functionality of the updated signal handling.
Since signal blocking is now managed in the C++ code, nogil is used in the Cython code to ensure the GIL is released during the execution of the receive function. This prevents it from impacting other Python threads.
