400c5e5c83 use restrict everywhere it's required by c99 and/or posix 2008
to deal with the fact that the public headers may be used with pre-c99
compilers, __restrict is used in place of restrict, and defined
appropriately for any supported compiler. we also avoid the form
[restrict] since older versions of gcc rejected it due to a bug in the
original c99 standard, and instead use the form *restrict.

ad5881842e clean up pthread_sigmask/sigprocmask dependency order
it's nicer for the function that doesn't use errno to be independent,
and have the other one call it. saves some time and avoids clobbering
errno.

99b8a25e94 overhaul implementation-internal signal protections
the new approach relies on the fact that the only ways to create
sigset_t objects without invoking UB are to use the sig*set()
functions, or from the masks returned by sigprocmask, sigaction, etc.
or in the ucontext_t argument to a signal handler. thus, as long as
sigfillset and sigaddset avoid adding the "protected" signals, there
is no way the application will ever obtain a sigset_t including these
bits, and thus no need to add the overhead of checking/clearing them
when sigprocmask or sigaction is called.

note that the old code actually *failed* to remove the bits from
sa_mask when sigaction was called.

the new implementations are also significantly smaller, simpler, and
faster due to ignoring the useless "GNU HURD signals" 65-1024, which
are not used and, if there's any sanity in the world, never will be
used.

016a5dc192 use a separate signal from SIGCANCEL for SIGEV_THREAD timers
otherwise we cannot support an application's desire to use
asynchronous cancellation within the callback function. this change
also slightly debloats pthread_create.c.

500c969f05 fix error handling for pthread_sigmask
it must return errno, not -1, and should reject invalud values for how.

a49c119276 prevent sigprocmask/pthread_sigmask from blocking implementation signals
this code was wrongly disabled because the old version was trying to
be too clever and didn't work. replaced it with a simple version for
now.
