Fix race in PyThread_release_lock that was leading to memory corruption and
deadlocks. The fix applies to POSIX systems where Python locks are
implemented with mutex and condition variable because POSIX semaphores are
either not provided, or are known to be broken. One particular example of
such system is macOS.

Allow the rare code that wants to send invalid http requests from the
