and return to previous Peter's variant.
POSIX says that this place is implementation defined and old variant allows
application block SIGALRM and sleep and not be killed by external SIGALRMs.
BTW, GNU sleep f.e. sleeps forever in blocked SIGALRM :-)
lifetime of the call, just like the old implementation did. Previously,
we were only eating them if the application did not call sleep()/usleep()
with SIGALRM masked.

semantics of the old sleep for compatability with a few decades of expected
side effects. Apache breaks if we just use nanosleep() for some reason,
here we use a new signanosleep() syscall which is kinda like a hybrid of
sigsuspend and nanosleep..
Reviewed by: ache (and tested on his apache that was failing when
sleep used plain nanosleep)
-DUSE_NANOSLEEP. Also, seperate the code for _THREAD_SAFE so that it uses
the simpler threaded nanosleep() call in libc_r.. We don't go to the same
extremes for emulating traditional sleep semantics (ie: eating any SIGALRM
that might happen) which things like apache seem to depend on.
value, it appears as though the semantics of usleep are that it doesn't
return early. (only in the nanosleep code - the setitimer code does this
already)
