faulthandler.enable(all_threads=True) dumps the tracebacks even if it is not
possible to get the state of the current thread

Create also the get_thread_state() subfunction to factorize the code.

The comment was already correct.

 * Write a new test to ensure that dump_tracebacks_later() still works if
   it was already called and then cancelled before
 * Don't use a variable to check the status of the thread, only rely on locks
 * The thread only releases cancel_event if it was able to acquire it (if
   the timer was interrupted)
 * The main thread always hold this lock. It is only released when
   faulthandler_thread() is interrupted until this thread exits, or at Python
   exit.

Fix a crash: don't read from NULL.
