mq_notify: block all (application) signals in the worker thread

until the mq notification event arrives, it is mandatory that signals
be blocked. otherwise, a signal can be received, and its handler
executed, in a thread which does not yet exist on the abstract
machine.

after the point of the event arriving, having signals blocked is not a
conformance requirement but a QoI requirement. while the application
can unblock any signals it wants unblocked in the event handler
thread, if they did not start out blocked, it could not block them
without a race window where they are momentarily unblocked, and this
would preclude controlled delivery or other forms of acceptance
(sigwait, etc.) anywhere in the application.
