This PR is relevant for hosting scenarios. Importing module signal in one IronPython engine registers a Ctrl+C signal handler, but it was not properly unregistered on engine shutdown. This means the handler was being referenced from the static System.Console (on Windows I suppose from the callback marshalling code) and caused a memory leak and interference with another later instance of the engine (at best).

The solution in this PR is to make PythonSignalState disposable and modify PythonContext that it recognizes disposable module states. For good measure I implemented a finalizer too although I think it will never (i.e before process termination) be called because without a call to Dispose() reference will stay alive and not being GC-ed.
