Incorrect hard limit for stack protection for MacOS and TSAN #139291
Description
Bug description:
Largely as a result of mixing the logic for determining the hardware stack limits and for setting the software stack limits, the incorrect hard limit is set for both TSAN and MacOS. MacOS is too low by _PyOS_STACK_MARGIN_BYTES and for TSAN by half the stack size.

Triage: Can this be closed as completed?

Yeah. 3.14 doesn't have macOS-specific code, and TSAN is OK on buildbots.
This might need a backport if a 3.14.1 fix depends on it, but let's close the issue.

We're having some issues on HPPA with the stack protection code w/ 3.14, I haven't debugged it enough to file a bug (and likely send a patch if it is what I think it is) yet, but backporting changes to the code would be appreciated in case:
a) it fixes it, and/or
b) to avoid complications in backporting other fixes,
if it's known to fix some problem already.
EDIT: .. that issue is now filed as #139914.
