fix race condition in rsyscall handler

the problem: there is a (single-instruction) race condition window
between a thread flagging itself dead and decrementing itself from the
thread count. if it receives the rsyscall signal at this exact moment,
the rsyscall caller will never succeed in signalling enough flags to
succeed, and will deadlock forever. in previous versions of musl, the
about-to-terminate thread masked all signals prior to decrementing
the thread count, but this cost a whole syscall just to account for
extremely rare races.

the solution is a huge hack: rather than blocking in the signal
handler if the thread is dead, modify the signal mask of the saved
context and return in order to prevent further signal handling by the
dead thread. this allows the dead thread to continue decrementing the
thread count (if it had not yet done so) and exiting, even while the
live part of the program blocks for rsyscall.

with this commit, both are fixed. however, cancellation points
encountered in a signal handler will not be acted upon if the signal
was received while the thread was already at a cancellation point.
they will of course be acted upon after the signal handler returns, so
in real-world usage where signal handlers quickly return, it should
not be a problem. it's possible to solve this problem too by having
sigaction() wrap all signal handlers with a function that uses a
pthread_cleanup handler to catch cancellation, patch up the saved
context, and return into the cancellable function that will catch and
act upon the cancellation. however that would be a lot of complexity
for minimal if any benefit...

syscall overhaul part two - unify public and internal syscall interface

with this patch, the syscallN() functions are no longer needed; a
variadic syscall() macro allows syscalls with anywhere from 0 to 6
arguments to be made with a single macro name. also, manually casting
each non-integer argument with (long) is no longer necessary; the
casts are hidden in the macros.

some source files which depended on being able to define the old macro
SYSCALL_RETURNS_ERRNO have been modified to directly use __syscall()
instead of syscall(). references to SYSCALL_SIGSET_SIZE and SYSCALL_LL
have also been changed.

overhaul syscall interface

this commit shuffles around the location of syscall definitions so
that we can make a syscall() library function with both SYS_* and
__NR_* style syscall names available to user applications, provides
the syscall() library function, and optimizes the code that performs
the actual inline syscalls in the library itself.

previously on i386 when built as PIC (shared library), syscalls were
incurring bus lock (lock prefix) overhead at entry and exit, due to
the way the ebx register was being loaded (xchg instruction with a
memory operand). now the xchg takes place between two registers.

further cleanup to arch/$(ARCH)/syscall.h is planned.
