bsd-user: upstream signal implementation

Upstream the bsd-user fork signal implementation, for the most part.  This
series of commits represents nearly all of the infrastructure that surround
signals, except the actual system call glue (that was also reworked in the
fork and needs its own series). In addition, this adds the sigsegv and sigbus
code to arm. Even in the fork, we don't have good x86 signal implementation,
so there's little to upstream for that at the moment.

bsd-user's signal implementation is similar to linux-user's. The full context
can be found in the bsd-user's fork's 'blitz branch' at
https://github.com/qemu-bsd-user/qemu-bsd-user/tree/blitz which shows how these
are used to implement various system calls. Since this was built from
linux-user's stack stuff, evolved for BSD with the passage of a few years, it
no-doubt missed some bug fixes from linux-user (though nothing obvious stood out
in the quick comparison I made). After the first round of reviews, many of these
improvements have been incorporated.
