not have a user-supplied signal handler, when a signal is delivered, one
thread will receive the signal, and then the code reverts to having no
signal handler for the signal. This can leave the other sigwait()ing
threads stranded permanently if the signal is later ignored, or can result
in process termination when the process should have delivered the signal to
one of the threads in sigwait().
To fix this problem, maintain a count of sigwait()ers for each signal that
has no default signal handler. Use the count to correctly install/uninstall
dummy signal handlers.

not allowed to return EINTR, but use of pthread_suspend_np() could cause
EINTR to be returned. To fix this, restructure pthread_suspend_np() so that
it does not interrupt a thread that is waiting on a mutex or condition, and
keep enough state around that pthread_resume_np() can fix things up
afterwards.

thread waiting on an event (I/O, condvar, etc) will, when resumed using
pthread_resume_np, return with EINTR. For example, suspending and resuming
a thread blocked on read() will not requeue the thread for the read, but
will return -1 with errno = EINTR. If the suspended thread is in a critical
region, the thread is suspended as soon as it leaves the critical region.

now _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo().

While we're at it, convert thread cancellation to use continuations, since
it's cleaner than the original cancellation code.
Avoid delivering a signal to a thread twice. This was a pre-existing bug,
but was likely unexposed until these other changes were made.
Defer signals generated by pthread_kill() so that they can be delivered on
the appropriate stack. deischen claims that this is unnecessary, which is
likely true, but without this change, pthread_kill() can cause undefined
priority queue states and/or PANICs in [sig|_]longjmp(), so I'm leaving
this in for now. To compile this code out and exercise the bug, define
the _NO_UNDISPATCH cpp macro. Defining _PTHREADS_INVARIANTS as well will
cause earlier crashes.

Before this change, a signal was delivered to each thread that
didn't have the signal masked. Signals also improperly woke up
threads waiting on I/O. With this change, signals are now
handled in the following way:
o If a thread is waiting in a sigwait for the signal,
then the thread is woken up.
o If no threads are sigwait'ing on the signal and a
thread is in a sigsuspend waiting for the signal,
then the thread is woken up.
o In the case that no threads are waiting or suspended
on the signal, then the signal is delivered to the
first thread we find that has the signal unmasked.
o If no threads are waiting or suspended on the signal,
and no threads have the signal unmasked, then the signal
is added to the process wide pending signal set. The
signal will be delivered to the first thread that unmasks
the signal.
If there is an installed signal handler, it is only invoked
if the chosen thread was not in a sigwait.
In the case that multiple threads are waiting or suspended
on a signal, or multiple threads have the signal unmasked,
we wake up/deliver the signal to the first thread we find.
The above rules still apply.
