Description
Similar to ARROW-15106 but observed from the client, not the server.
The Python Flight client blocks the thread and ignores signal handlers. This makes it impossible for the client to handle the signal handler and cancel the query before it has returned a FlightStreamReader.

Research direction
Start at the Python Flight client's do_get entry point and compare the client-side behavior with ARROW-15106. The fix is complete when Python signal handlers can run and cancel the query before do_get returns a FlightStreamReader.
