posix-timers: Make signal overrun accounting sensible

The handling of the timer overrun in the signal code is inconsistent as it
takes previous overruns into account. This is just wrong as after the
reprogramming of a timer the overrun count starts over from a clean state,
i.e. 0.

Don't touch info::si_overrun in send_sigqueue() and only store the overrun
value at signal delivery time, which is computed from the timer itself
relative to the expiry time.
