Fix a malloc race condition involving strsignal.
A signal can arrive in the middle of a malloc, and Emacs's signal
handler can invoke strsignal, which can invoke malloc, which is
not portable. This race condition bug makes Emacs hang on GNU/Linux.
Fix it by altering the signal handler so that it does not invoke
strsignal.
* emacs.c (shut_down_emacs): Use safe_strsignal, not strsignal.
* process.c (status_message): Use const pointer, in case strsignal
is #defined to safe_strsignal.
* sysdep.c (sys_siglist, init_signals): Always define and
initialize a substitute sys_siglist if the system does not define
one, even if HAVE_STRSIGNAL.
(safe_strsignal): Rename from strsignal. Always define,
using sys_siglist. Return a const pointer.
* syssignal.h (safe_strsignal): New decl.
(strsignal) [!HAVE_STRSIGNAL]: Define in terms of safe_strsignal.
