Subject: [PATCH 1/1] signal: use BUILD_BUG() instead of
	_NSIG_WORDS_is_unsupported_size()

Kill _NSIG_WORDS_is_unsupported_size(), use BUILD_BUG() instead.
This simplifies the code, avoids the nested-externs warnings, and
this way we do not defer the problem to linker.

Also, fix the indentation in _SIG_SET_BINOP() and _SIG_SET_OP().

Note: this patch assumes that the code like "if (0) BUILD_BUG();"
is valid. If not (say __compiletime_error() is not defined and thus
__compiletime_error_fallback() uses a negative array) we should fix
BUILD_BUG() and/or BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(). This code should be fine by
definition, this is the documented purpose of BUILD_BUG().
