Subject: [PATCH v3 1/7] signal.h: Define SIGINFO on all architectures

This complementary patch defines SIGINFO as a synonym for SIGPWR
on every architecture supported by the kernel.

SIGPWR looks like a nice candidate for this role, because it is
defined on every supported arch; it is currently only used to inform
PID 1 of power failures, and daemons that care about low-level
events do not tend to have a controlling terminal.

However, on sparcs SIGPWR is a synonym for SIGLOST, a signal unique
to that architecture, with a narrow set of intended uses that do not
combine well with interactively requesting status.
SIGLOST is not used by any kernel code at the moment.

SIGINFO is not defined as a real-time signal for the following reasons:
* SIGRTMIN and SIGRTMAX can not be changed without breaking userspace
* the lack of queuing is irrelevant for the main use-case, since the
  consumption rate of information by a terminal user and the
  practical tty keypress processing rates are much slower than SIGINFO
  processing by the line discipline.
