[PATCH 2/2] [gdb/dap] Fix stray KeyboardInterrupt after cancel

When running test-case gdb.dap/pause.exp 100 times in a loop, it passes
100/100.

But if we remove the two "sleep 0.2" from the test-case, we run into
(copied from dap.log and edited for readability):
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "startup.py", line 251, in message
    def message():

KeyboardInterrupt
Quit
...

This happens as follows.

CancellationHandler.cancel calls gdb.interrupt to cancel a request in flight.

The idea is that this interrupt triggers while in fn here in message (a nested
function of send_gdb_with_response):
...
    def message():
        try:
            val = fn()
            result_q.put(val)
        except (Exception, KeyboardInterrupt) as e:
            result_q.put(e)
...
but instead it triggers outside the try/except.

Fix this by:
- in CancellationHandler, adding an variable interruptable to track whether
  we're in the try/except,
- in CancellationHandler.cancel, setting a variable cancel_pending instead
  of callling gdb.interrupt if not in the try/except, and
- handling cancel_pending in a few places.

This makes the test-case pass 100/100, also when adding the extra stressor of
"taskset -c 0", which makes the fail more likely without the patch.

I left the two "sleep 0.2" in the test-case, I didn't see a reason to remove
those.

Tested on aarch64-linux.
