Our opr/softsig-t tests run softsig-helper to generate SIGSEGV and
SIGBUS signals (among other things), which may generate core files (if
'ulimit -c' is nonzero). The core files are useless, since we expect
those signals to be generated.
Usually the core files are generated in the build tree (where we run the
tests from), which is a minor annoyance. But some systems may be
configured to store core files in a central location (e.g.
/var/lib/systemd/coredump), which starts to build up over time after
many builds.
To avoid this, prevent core files from being generated in softsig-helper
for the SIGSEGV and SIGBUS cases by calling setrlimit().

Fix the loop condition when scanning the signal number to name table to
convert a signal number to a name. Instead of looping sizeof(size_t)
times, loop for the number of elements in the table.
This bug was masked on 64 bit-platforms, since the signal number to name
table table currently has 8 elements, which is coincidently the same as
sizeof(size_t) on 64-bit platforms. The bug becomes apparent on 32-bit
systems; only the first 4 elements of the table are checked.

Signals and pthreaded applications are a poor match. OpenAFS has had
the softsig system (currently in src/util/softsig.c) in an attempt to
alleviate some of these problems. However, that implementation itself
has a number of problems. It uses signal functions that are unsafe in
pthreaded applications, and uses pthread_kill within its signal
handlers. Over the years it has been responsible for a number of
portability bugs.
The old implementation continues to receive signals in the main thread
of the application. However, the handler code is run within a seperate
signal handler thread. When the main thread receives a signal a stub
handler is invoked, which simply pthread_kill()s the signal handler
thread.
The new implementation simplifies things by only receiving signals in
the handler thread. It uses only pthread-compatible signal functions,
and invokes no code from within async signal handlers.
A complete test suite is supplied.
