When we release memory to the OS, if the OS doesn't want us
to release it (for example, because the program executed
mlockall(MCL_FUTURE)), madvise will fail. Ignore the failure
instead of crashing.
Fixes#3435.

Signal handlers are global resources but many language
environments (Go, C++ at Google, etc) assume they have sole
ownership of a particular handler. Signal handlers in
mixed-language applications must therefore be robust against
unexpected delivery of certain signals, such as SIGPROF.
The default Go signal handler runtime·sigtramp assumes that it
will never be called on a non-Go thread, but this assumption
is violated by when linking in C++ code that spawns threads.
Specifically, the handler asserts the thread has an associated
"m" (Go scheduler).
This CL is a very simple workaround: discard SIGPROF delivered to non-Go threads. runtime.badsignal(int32) now receives the signal number; if it returns without panicking (e.g. sig==SIGPROF) the signal is discarded.
I don't think there is any really satisfactory solution to the
problem of signal-based profiling in a mixed-language
application. It's not only the issue of handler clobbering,
but also that a C++ SIGPROF handler called in a Go thread
can't unwind the Go stack (and vice versa). The best we can
hope for is not crashing.
Note:
- I've ported this to all POSIX platforms, except ARM-linux which already ignores unexpected signals on m-less threads.
- I've avoided tail-calling runtime.badsignal because AFAICT the 6a/6l don't support it.
- I've avoided hoisting 'push sig' (common to both function calls) because it makes the code harder to read.
- Fixed an (apparently incorrect?) docstring.

Use version 2 of the NetBSD signal ABI - both version 2 and version 3
are supported by the kernel, with near identical behaviour. However,
the netbsd32 compat code does not allow version 3 to be used, which
prevents Go netbsd/386 binaries from running in compat mode on a
NetBSD amd64 kernel. Switch to version 2 of the ABI, which is the
same version currently used by NetBSD's libc.

On netbsd/386, tv_sec is a 64-bit integer for both timeval and timespec.
Fix the time handling code so that it works correctly.

The correct procid is needed for unparking LWPs on NetBSD - always
initialise procid in minit() so that cgo works correctly. The non-cgo
case already works correctly since procid is initialised via
lwp_create().

Implement getcontext and sigprocmask for NetBSD - these will soon be
used by the thread handling code.
Also fix netbsd/386 signal handling - there is no sigreturn, just
return so that we hit the trampoline.

Set the TLS base using the _lwp_setprivate() syscall, instead of via
sysarch(). NetBSD tracks the pointer passed to _lwp_setprivate() and
restores this value when restoring mcontext. If sysarch() is used
directly, restoring an mcontext trashes the FS/GS value, resulting
in a segfault when we next try to access the TLS.

When a very low-level system call that should never fail
does fail, we call notok, which crashes the program.
Often, we are then left with only the program counter as
information about the crash, and it is in notok.
Instead, inline calls to notok (it is just one instruction
on most systems) so that the program counter will
tell us which system call is unhappy.

This is like the ill-fated CL 5493063 except that
I have written a shell script (autogen.sh) instead of
thinking I could possibly write a correct Makefile.

That was the last build that was close to working.
I will try that change again next week.
Make is being very subtle today.
At the reverted-to CL, the ARM traceback appears
to be broken. I'll look into that next week too.

Collapse the arch,os-specific directories into the main directory
by renaming xxx/foo.c to foo_xxx.c, and so on.
There are no substantial edits here, except to the Makefile.
The assumption is that the Go tool will #define GOOS_darwin
and GOARCH_amd64 and will make any file named something
like signals_darwin.h available as signals_GOOS.h during the
build. This replaces what used to be done with -I$(GOOS).
There is still work to be done to make runtime build with
standard tools, but this is a big step. After this we will have
to write a script to generate all the generated files so they
can be checked in (instead of generated during the build).
