we wrongly defined a dummy SA_RESTORER flag on these archs, despite
the kernel interface not actually having such a feature. on archs
which lack SA_RESTORER, the kernel sigaction structure also lacks the
restorer function pointer member, which means the signal mask appears
at a different offset. the kernel was thereby interpreting the bits of
the code address as part of the signal set to be masked while handling
the signal.
this patch removes the erroneous SA_RESTORER definitions from archs
which do not have it, makes access to the member conditional on
whether SA_RESTORER is defined for the arch, and removes the
now-unused asm for the affected archs.
because there are reportedly versions of qemu-user which also use the
wrong ABI here, the old ksigaction struct size is preserved with an
unused member at the end. this is harmless and mitigates the risk of
such a bug turning into a buffer overflow onto the sigaction
function's stack.

these were overlooked in the declarations overhaul work because they
are not properly declared, and the current framework even allows their
declared types to vary by arch. at some point this should be cleaned
up, but I'm not sure what the right way would be.

the restorer function pointer provided in the kernel sigaction
structure is interpreted by the kernel as a raw code address, not a
function descriptor.
this commit moves the declarations of the __restore and __restore_rt
symbols to ksigaction.h so that arch versions of the file can override
them, and introduces a version for sh which declares them as objects
rather than functions.
an alternate solution would have been defining SA_RESTORER to 0 so
that the functions are not used, but this both requires executable
stack (since the sh kernel does not have a vdso page with permanent
restorer functions) and crashes on qemu user-level emulation.

basically, this version of the code was obtained by starting with
rdp's work from his ellcc source tree, adapting it to musl's build
system and coding style, auditing the bits headers for discrepencies
with kernel definitions or glibc/LSB ABI or large file issues, fixing
up incompatibility with the old binutils from aboriginal linux, and
adding some new special cases to deal with the oddities of sigaction
and pipe syscall interfaces on mips.
at present, minimal test programs work, but some interfaces are broken
or missing. threaded programs probably will not link.
