0270d57aef Use struct __ucontext in prototypes and associated functions instead of
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.

91078fca0c sigset_t change (part 3 of 5)
-----------------------------

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.
