Since signalfd is often combined with our event loop, give it a
convenient API and reduce the code duplication required to use it.
EventLoop is replaced with ::event_loop to allow consistent
parameter passing and avoid needlessly passing the package name
on stack.
We also avoid exporting SFD_NONBLOCK since it's the only flag we
support. There's no sense in having the memory overhead of a
constant function when it's in cold code.

Not 100% sure what's going on, here...

We already use PublicInbox::DS in this test and I've always
found the terminology of sig* APIs confusing :x

Since Perl exposes O_NONBLOCK as a constant, we can safely make
SFD_NONBLOCK a constant, too. This is not the case for
SFD_CLOEXEC, since O_CLOEXEC is not exposed by Perl despite
being used internally in the interpreter.

Thanks to the GCC compile farm project, we can wire up syscalls
for sparc64 and set system-specific SFD_* constants properly.
I've FINALLY figured out how to use POSIX::SigSet to generate
a usable buffer for the syscall perlfunc. This is required
for endian-neutral behavior and relevant to sparc64, at least.
There's no need for signalfd-related stuff to be constants,
either. signalfd initialization is never a hot path and a stub
subroutine for constants uses several KB of memory in the
interpreter.
We'll drop the needless SEEK_CUR import while we're importing
O_NONBLOCK, too.

I didn't wait until September to do it, this year!

Our attempt at using a self-pipe in signal handlers was
ineffective, since pure Perl code execution is deferred
and Perl doesn't use an internal self-pipe/eventfd. In
retrospect, I actually prefer the simplicity of Perl in
this regard...
We can use sigprocmask() from Perl, so we can introduce
signalfd(2) and EVFILT_SIGNAL support on Linux and *BSD-based
systems, respectively. These OS primitives allow us to avoid a
race where Perl checks for signals right before epoll_wait() or
kevent() puts the process to sleep.
The (few) systems nowadays without signalfd(2) or IO::KQueue
will now see wakeups every second to avoid missed signals.
