Prior to 2a4b472c3c, sys/signal.h was only included on OpenBSD
(apart from two .c files). The POSIX standard location for this
header is just <signal.h> and in fact, OpenBSD's signal.h includes
sys/signal.h itself.
Unconditionally including <sys/signal.h> on musl causes warnings
for just about every source file:
/usr/include/sys/signal.h:1:2: warning: #warning redirecting incorrect #include <sys/signal.h> to <signal.h> [-Wcpp]
1 | #warning redirecting incorrect #include <sys/signal.h> to <signal.h>
| ^~~~~~~
Since there don't seem to be any platforms which require including
<sys/signal.h> in addition to <signal.h>, and some platforms like
Haiku lack it completely, just remove it.
Tested building on OpenBSD after removing this include.

Seems to certainly cut down on the number of errors seen when building in Alpine. There's still a few more, but there's definitely less. Tested-by: John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>
