This adds a simple signal test that combines the POSIX timer_create
with signal delivery across multiple threads.
[AJB: So I wrote this in an attempt to flush out issues with the
s390x-linux-user handling. However I suspect I've done something wrong
or opened a can of signal handling worms.
Nominally this runs fine on real hardware but I variously get failures
when running it under translation and while debugging QEMU running the
test. I've also exposed a shortcomming with the gdb stub when dealing
with guest TLS data so yay ;-). So I post this as an RFC in case
anyone else can offer insight or can verify they are seeing the same
strange behaviour?]

This seems to be some sort of change of behaviour by running inside a debug environment. Architectures that fail running normally: ./qemu-alpha tests/tcg/alpha-linux-user/signals fish: “./qemu-alpha tests/tcg/alpha-li…” terminated by signal SIGILL (Illegal instruction) ./qemu-sparc64 tests/tcg/sparc64-linux-user/signals thread0: started thread1: started thread2: started thread3: started thread4: started thread5: started thread6: started thread7: started thread8: started thread9: started thread0: saw 0 alarms from 0 ...
