Reuse signed timeout conversion in thread primitives - #9652
Reuse the existing signed pytime::from_seconds_object conversion for channel waits, _thread._ThreadHandle.join, and Lock/RLock acquisition instead of separate integer/float/error handling.
Bind Lock/RLock arguments with the existing derived FromArgs machinery before running callbacks. Convert blocking using Python truthiness, preserve missing versus explicit None, then convert the timeout once using index-before-float semantics.
Compare the lock's indefinite-wait sentinel after nanosecond rounding. Validate finite waits against the native microsecond limit rather than the floored public TIMEOUT_MAX, so valid fractional waits remain accepted.
Preserve the distinct channel, lock, and join policies for None, negative values, and nonblocking calls. Construct Duration from checked integer nanoseconds, removing the channel's panic-prone floating-point path and the lock's duplicate floating-point reconstruction.
Share native wait bounds and the exported _thread.TIMEOUT_MAX calculation. Keep seven focused tests: one native wait-boundary test and six lock-binding/conversion tests, including callback order, short-circuit behavior, sentinel rounding, and error precedence. Remove three standalone tests of the unchanged shared converter; existing test_time coverage and the retained lock tests cover the relevant conversion behavior. No snippet or CPython test files are modified.
Preserve integer 0/1 daemon values in the _thread.start_joinable_thread audit payload, matching CPython's OiO format without changing binding or audit-before-launch ordering.
The channel parser changes in #9651 are independent. The preexisting distinction between the ordinary binder's positional-argument count and Clinic's total positional-plus-keyword count remains outside this patch; no new per-function parser is introduced.
Reference review
Compared with CPython v3.15.0's thread timeout parsing, lock/handle implementation, Clinic wrappers, and signed PyTime conversion. The original 54-case reference matrix and 56-case Lock/RLock matrix cover missing/None, general truthiness, nonblocking precedence, negative/sub-nanosecond values, the rounded indefinite sentinel, fractional maximum values, NaN/infinity, signed-range boundaries, and __index__/__float__ ordering.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Improved timeout handling for thread locks, thread joins, and channel waits. Timeout values are rounded consistently, and values beyond supported limits or invalid negative values are rejected.
Nonblocking lock calls now validate timeout values consistently, with conversion errors reported before nonblocking timeout restrictions.
Thread lock acquisition and join operations now handle indefinite waits consistently.
Share native thread wait limits with the PyTime conversion helpers. Normalize channel and join timeouts with signed nanosecond precision, native index/float precedence, checked bounds, and timeout rounding. Preserve each API-specific None, negative, and nonblocking policy. Add generic conversion and boundary coverage without snippet tests.

Keep the shared microsecond limit available to channel waits, but compile the seconds-only _thread export when its threading consumer is enabled.

Thread lock acquisition, thread joins, and interpreter-channel timeouts now use shared timeout conversion and limit checks from pytime. Timeout values are rounded up to nanoseconds, with acquisition tests covering conversion order, sentinel handling, and validation.
pytime defines platform-specific thread-wait limits and adds a check for values rounded up to microseconds. A boundary test covers the maximum and overflow cases.
Lock acquisition, thread joins, and interpreter channels convert timeouts through pytime. Acquisition binds arguments before conversion and applies the documented sentinel, negative-value, and nonblocking checks. Tests cover argument conversion and validation order. The start_joinable_thread audit event now records daemon as an integer.
Windows joins with timeouts exceeding roughly 49.7 days can remain blocked beyond their deadline. This narrow edge case warrants bounded follow-up; ordinary timeout handling has no established blocking defect.

Explanation
The title "Reuse signed timeout conversion in thread primitives" matches the main change. The PR switches channel waits, _thread join, and Lock/RLock acquisition to the existing signed pytime::from_seconds_object conversion, and the raw summary confirms this shared conversion path in _interpchannels.rs, _thread.rs, and pytime.rs. The title is specific and short. It omits the added boundary checks and the Lock argument-binding changes, which the title does not need to cover.

Convert float timeouts before checking the index protocol
When timeout is a float subclass defining __index__, this new call selects that method because from_seconds_object checks is_index() before recognizing a PyFloat. The previous TimeoutSeconds conversion instead read the float payload. For example, a Seconds(float) subclass whose __index__ returns -1 makes lock.acquire(timeout=Seconds(0.0)) wait indefinitely on an already-held non-reentrant lock instead of returning False: the zero timeout becomes the indefinite-wait sentinel. Handle float instances and subclasses before the index protocol in the shared converter so the new Lock/RLock and channel callers preserve float semantics.
Add a channel timeout test that depends on __index__ before __float__.
send and send_buffer convert timeout through parse_timeout, which calls pytime::from_seconds_object. That function checks for an index before it calls __float__. The existing channel timeout case passes the int 0, which both conversion orders accept. No inspected channel test passes an object whose __index__ and __float__ give different results. Reverting this call site to float-first would therefore leave the inspected channel timeout tests passing.
Add a blocking send to an unreceived channel, using an object whose __index__ returns 0 and whose __float__ raises. It should raise TimeoutError. A float-first conversion would raise the exception from __float__ instead.

join() can block past a finite timeout above the Windows wait limit.
join_internal passes the full remaining time to Condvar::wait_for. On Windows builds that use the WaitOnAddress backend of parking_lot_core, a wait longer than u32::MAX milliseconds is passed as INFINITE. That wait ends only when the joined thread signals completion. join can therefore run past its deadline while the thread is still running.
Cap each native wait at the existing platform limit. Return on timeout only when the deadline has been reached.
