Comment (by jdemeyer):
To explain the usage of `interrupt_api.h` better: the global variable
`_signals` (and some functions like `_sig_on_interrupt_received`) which
used to be implemented in `c_lib` are now implemented in Cython. For
technical reasons, `sig_on()` MUST be a macro and therefore it can only
reasonably be implemented in a `.h` file. But `sig_on()` needs access to
`_signals`. So we need a mechanism to access the Cython global variable
`_signals` in the C header `macros.h`. We use the standard `cdef api`
mechanism for this.
