Documentation

In the signal page hosted onthe python docs, signal.SIGSTOP is not marked as Unix-only, unlike other signals that Windows lacks.

The signal functionality on Windows is much more limited than on Unix-like systems, famously only defining a few signals. Therefore, many signals are available on Unix only, which is reflected in the typeshed stubs and the documentation.

For example, inthe .rst source:

..data::SIGPROF   Profiling timer expired.   ..availability::Unix...data::SIGQUIT   Terminal quit signal.   ..availability::Unix.

However, this is missingunder SIGSTOP:

..data::SIGSTOP   Stop executing (cannot be caught or ignored)...data::SIGSTKFLT   Stack fault on coprocessor. The Linux kernel does not raise this signal: it   can only be raised in user space.

A pull request will be opened to fix this, if appropriate.
