   The result is a pointer to a malloc'd block of memory to pass to
   restore_active_ext_lang.

   N.B. This function must be called every time we call out to an extension
   language, and the result must be passed to restore_active_ext_lang
   afterwards.

   If there is a pending SIGINT it is "moved" to the now active extension
   language, if it supports cooperative SIGINT handling (i.e., it provides
   {clear,set,check}_quit_flag methods).  If the extension language does not
   support cooperative SIGINT handling, then the SIGINT is left queued and
   we require the non-cooperative extension language to call check_quit_flag
   at appropriate times.
   It is important for the extension language to call check_quit_flag if it
   installs its own SIGINT handler to prevent the situation where a SIGINT
   is queued on entry, extension language code runs for a "long" time possibly
   serving one or more SIGINTs, and then returns.  Upon return, if
   check_quit_flag is not called, the original SIGINT will be thrown.
   Non-cooperative extension languages are free to install their own SIGINT
   handler but the original must be restored upon return, either itself
   or via restore_active_ext_lang.

   If cooperative SIGINT handling is force-disabled (e.g., we're in
   the middle of handling an inferior event), then we don't actually
   record NOW_ACTIVE as the current active extension language, so that
   set_quit_flag saves the SIGINT in the global quit flag instead of
   in the extension language.  The caller does not need to concern
   itself about this, though.  The currently active extension language
   concept only exists for cooperative SIGINT handling.  */
