Trigger postponed jobs on running_ec if that is available

Currently, any postponed job triggered from a non-ruby thread gets sent
to the main thread, but if the main thread is sleeping it won't be
checking ints. Instead, we should try and interrupt running_ec if that's
possible, and only fall back to the main thread if it's not.

/* This code needs to carefully work around two bugs:
* - Bug #20016: When M:N threading is enabled, running_ec is NULL if no thread is
* actually currently running (as opposed to without M:N threading, when
* running_ec will still point to the _last_ thread which ran)
* - Bug #20197: If the main thread is sleeping, setting its postponed job
* interrupt flag is pointless; it won't look at the flag until it stops sleeping
* for some reason. It would be better to set the flag on the running ec, which
* will presumably look at it soon.
*
* Solution: use running_ec if it's set, otherwise fall back to the main thread ec.
* This is still susceptible to some rare race conditions (what if the last thread
* to run just entered a long-running sleep?), but seems like the best balance of
* robustness and complexity.
