libc: Provide ucontext_t/mcontext_t/<sys/ucontext.h>

This patch updates the C library headers to provide ucontext_t
definitions for three architectures.

+ Fix <signal.h> to always define 'struct sigcontext'.

The new declarations are announced with new macros defined in
<sys/cdefs.h> in order to make it easier to adapt client code
that already defines its own, incompatible, versions of the
structures seen here.

/* _NSIG is used by the SIGRTMAX definition under <asm/signal.h>, however
* its definition is part of a #if __KERNEL__ .. #endif block in the original
* kernel headers and is thus not part of our cleaned-up versions.
/* Previous versions of <signal.h> didn't define 'struct sigcontext'. This
* has led client code to redefine the structure, sometimes in a custom and
* incompatible way.
*
* Looking at the current kernel sources, it is defined as 64 for all
* architectures except for the 'mips' one which set it to 128.
* The __BIONIC_HAVE_STRUCT_SIGCONTEXT macro is defined in <sys/cdefs.h>
* to indicate that <signal.h> does indeed define the structure. For
* maximum source compatibility, client code should follow these guidelines:
*
* - If client code is guaranteed to build against a recent NDK/platform
* version, just include <signal.h> as usual, and use the
* 'struct sigcontext'.
*
* - If client code wants to build against older NDK/platform versions,
* and only uses 'struct sigcontext' without accessing _any_
* of its fields, just always include <asm/sigcontext.h> on Android
* to ensure maximum portability (i.e. to old platform/NDK releases).
* As in:
*
* #include <signal.h>
* #ifdef __BIONIC__
* #include <asm/sigcontext.h>
* #endif
*
* - Otherwise, if the client has a custom sigcontext definition and wants to
* keep it to minimize source changes, use a macro trick as below to avoid
* naming conflicts:
*
* #include <signal.h>
* #ifdef __BIONIC__
* # include <asm/sigcontext.h>
* # ifdef __BIONIC_HAVE_STRUCT_SIGCONTEXT
* # undef sigcontext
* # define sigcontext my_custom_sigcontext
* # endif
* #endif
*/
#ifndef _NSIG
# define _NSIG 64
#endif
/* Similarly, previous versions of the C library didn't define ucontext_t
* and mcontext_t in <signal.h>, or <sys/ucontext.h>. Client code can check
* against the macro __BIONIC_HAVE_UCONTEXT_T to determine if it does.
*
* Beware, that does _not_ mean that <ucontext.h> and related functions are
* available.
