In addition to the compile failure fixed in signal*.c,
preserving the signal mask led to very strange crashes.
Testing shows that looking for SIG_IGN is all that
matters to get along with nohup, so reintroduce
sigset_zero instead of trying to preserve the signal mask.

There are two ways nohup(1) might be implemented:
it might mask away the signal, or it might set the handler
to SIG_IGN, both of which are inherited across fork+exec.
So two fixes:
* Make sure to preserve the inherited signal mask at
minit instead of clearing it.
* If the SIGHUP handler is SIG_IGN, leave it that way.
Fixes#4491.

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.

It's the best we can do before Go 1.
For issue 3250; not a fix but at least less mysterious.

Before:
$ go run x.go
signal 11 (core dumped)
$
After:
$ go run x.go
runtime: cgo callback on thread not created by Go.
signal 11 (core dumped)
$
For issue 3068.
Not a fix, but as much of a fix as we can do before Go 1.

Work around profiling kernel bug with signal masks.
Still broken on 64-bit Snow Leopard kernel,
but I think we can ignore that one and let people
upgrade to Lion.
Add new trivial tools addr2line and objdump to take
the place of the GNU tools of the same name, since
those are not installed on OS X.
Adapt pprof to invoke 'go tool addr2line' and
'go tool objdump' if the system tools do not exist.
Clean up disassembly of base register on amd64.
Fixes#2008.

Ignore signals while we are spawning a new thread. Previously, a
signal arriving just before runtime.minit setting up the signal
handler triggers a "double fault" in signal trampolining.
Fixes#3017.

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).
