Bother.  I see your point regarding the return value when just
pending_signals is set, but disregarding pending_signals doesn't sound
TRT to me, either.  It means various Emacs features based on input
detection won't work while the module code runs, even if the module
tries to be nice and does call module_should_quit.  For example,
while-no-input and atimers won't work, and Emacs will generally be
much less responsive to user input.

So maybe we should indeed return true only if QUITP says so, but we
should also call process_pending_signals from module_should_quit, when
pending_signals is non-zero?
