[issue21497] faulthandler should handle sys.stderr being None gracefully

Nope, there is no debate: there is the Zen of Python :-)

"Errors should never pass silently."

What's the purpose of enabling faulthandler if sys.stderr is None? If you don't want faulthandler output, don't enable faulthandler!?
