gnu: chez-scheme: Backport test fix.
The backported commit fixes crashes when signals are delivered to
non-Scheme threads, including GC worker threads and threads
created by foreign libraries.  This appears to have been the
cause of the intermittent test failures we have experienced.

* gnu/packages/patches/chez-scheme-backport-signal.patch: New patch.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/chez-scheme.scm (chez-scheme)[source]<patches>: Use it.
(chez-scheme-for-racket, chez-scheme): Enable tests.

Subject: [PATCH] constrain signal delivery to Scheme to the main thread (#813)
The intent is to avoid crashes when a signal gets delimited to a
thread that might not even be a Scheme thread. Also, we don't try to
queue the event directly in the main thread's context, because then
we'd need more of a lock (while signal handling is otherwise an
implicit lock).
(cherry picked from commit fc081fc447a786dd53286e5d7314b7217631cb68)

Signals handled in this fashion are treated like keyboard interrupts in
