Austin Clements 675eb72c28 runtime: run libc SIGSETXID and SIGCANCEL handlers on signal stack
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.
