Subject: [patch v6 07/20] signal: Provide posixtimer_sigqueue_init()

To cure the SIG_IGN handling for posix interval timers, the preallocated
sigqueue needs to be embedded into struct k_itimer to prevent life time
races of all sorts.

Provide a new function to initialize the embedded sigqueue to prepare for
that.
