ucontext_t. Forward declare struct __ucontext in <sys/signal.h> and
remove reliance on <sys/ucontext.h> being included.
While I'm here, also hide osigcontext types from userland; suggested
by bde.
Namespace pollution noticed by: Kevin Day <toasty@shell.dragondata.com>
o Remove unused defines from genassym.c that were needed
by the trampoline.
o Add load_gs_param function to support.s that catches
a fault when %gs is loaded with an invalid descriptor.
The function returns EFAULT in that case.
o Remove struct trapframe from mcontext_t and replace it
with the list of registers.
o Modify sendsig and sigreturn accordingly.
This commit contains a patch by bde.

-----------------------------
By introducing a new sigframe so that the signal handler operates
on the new siginfo_t and on ucontext_t instead of sigcontext, we
now need two version of sendsig and sigreturn.
A flag in struct proc determines whether the process expects an
old sigframe or a new sigframe. The signal trampoline handles
which sigreturn to call. It does this by testing for a magic
cookie in the frame.
The alpha uses osigreturn to implement longjmp. This means that
osigreturn is not only used for compatibility with existing
binaries. To handle the new sigset_t, setjmp saves it in
sc_reserved (see NOTE).
the struct sigframe has been moved from frame.h to sigframe.h
to handle the complex header dependencies that was caused by
the new sigframe.
NOTE: For the i386, the size of jmp_buf has been increased to hold
the new sigset_t. On the alpha this has been prevented by
using sc_reserved in sigcontext.
