Forward signals to signal handlers installed before Go installs its own,
under certain circumstances. In particular, as iant@ suggests, signals are
forwarded iff:
(1) a non-SIG_DFL signal handler existed before Go, and
(2) signal is synchronous (i.e., one of SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, SIGFPE), and
(3a) signal occured on a non-Go thread, or
(3b) signal occurred on a Go thread but in CGo code.
Supported only on Linux, for now.

There is currently no way to ignore signals using the os/signal package.
It is possible to catch a signal and do nothing but this is not the same
as ignoring it. The new function Ignore allows a set of signals to be
ignored. The new function Reset allows the initial handlers for a set of
signals to be restored.

Rename "gothrow" to "throw" now that the C version of "throw"
is no longer needed.
This change is purely mechanical except in panic.go where the
old version of "throw" has been deleted.

These signals are used by glibc to broadcast setuid/setgid to all
threads and to send pthread cancellations. Unlike other signals, the
Go runtime does not intercept these because they must invoke the libc
handlers (see issues #3871 and #6997). However, because 1) these
signals may be issued asynchronously by a thread running C code to
another thread running Go code and 2) glibc does not set SA_ONSTACK
for its handlers, glibc's signal handler may be run on a Go stack.
Signal frames range from 1.5K on amd64 to many kilobytes on ppc64, so
this may overflow the Go stack and corrupt heap (or other stack) data.
Fix this by ensuring that these signal handlers have the SA_ONSTACK
flag (but not otherwise taking over the handler).
This has been a problem since Go 1.1, but it's likely that people
haven't encountered it because it only affects setuid/setgid and
pthread_cancel.
Fixes#9600.

This code overused macros and could not be
converted automatically. Instead a new sigctxt
type had to be defined for each os/arch combination,
with a common (implicit) interface used by the
arch-specific signal handler code.
