signals/sigaltstack: Report current flag bits in sigaltstack()

sigaltstack()'s reported previous state uses a somewhat odd
convention, but the concept of flag bits is new, and we can do the
flag bits sensibly.  Specifically, let's just report them directly.

This will allow saving and restoring the sigaltstack state using
sigaltstack() to work correctly.
