There appears to be a bug in emacs-27 on windows-nt when a call is
made to a process' sentinel in response to a kill- or
interrupt-process call.

The second argument to the sentinel (the "string describing the
change") is set to a "unknown signal" rather than to "interrupt\n" as
it was the case in the latest emacs-26 or in emacs-28 branches:

| system-version | second argument passed to the sentinel |
|----------------+----------------------------------------|
|        26.3.50 | interrupted\n                          |
|        27.1.91 | unknown signal\n                       |
|        28.0.50 | interrupted\n                          |

The expectation is that, under windows-nt, the process sentinel should
pass in an "interrupted\n" value to the change description
argument when interrupt-process has successfully interrupted a process.

An ert test is included to showcase the issue that only fails in
emacs-27 on windows-nt. The test starts an idle emacs process,
sets-process-sentinel,
calls interrupt-process on it, and then compares the sentinel's second
argument whether it is the de facto expected "interrupted\n" text or
otherwise. The test fails on the latest emasc-27 since the argument that
emacs is passing in is "unknown signal".

To execute, save the test file and execute the following command:

emacs.exe -batch -l ert -l set-process-sentinel-test.el -f
ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit

The test will fail on emacs-27 but passes as expected in emacs-26 or the
master branch.

Initial analysis indicated this could be an emacs-27 regression caused by
the move to pdumper,
affecting any functionality that converts signal numbers to text
description. Analysis to follow.

---
set-process-sentinel is a built-in function in ‘src/process.c’.

(set-process-sentinel PROCESS SENTINEL)

Give PROCESS the sentinel SENTINEL; nil for default.
The sentinel is called as a function when the process changes state.
It gets two arguments: the process, and a string describing the change.
