Ok, here is a full patch tested on Linux and Windows:
 - Add faulthandler module (code, doc, tests) as a builtin module
 - Add "-X faulthandler=1" command line option and PYTHONFAULTHANDLER=1 en var 
to enable the fault handler at startup
 - Add _Py_DumpTraceback() and _Py_DumpTracebackThreads() functions to 
Python/traceback.c
 - Py_FatalError() calls _Py_DumpTraceback() if there is not exception
 - Initialize/Unload faulthandler explicitly in Py_InitializeEx()/Py_Finalize() 
to do it in the right order

I added a section in the doc to explain the file descriptor issue.

I merged different .c and .h files into faulthandler.c, the code is easier to 
read and maintain like that.

I don't know if the following test is the best test to check if SIGARLM 
constant and alarm() function are available:

+#ifdef SIGALRM
+#  define FAULTHANDLER_LATER
+#endif

(The test works at least on Linux and Windows)
