These headers all use QEMU_HOSTDEP_H as header guard symbol. Reuse of
the same guard symbol in multiple headers is okay as long as they
cannot be included together.
Since we can avoid guard symbol reuse easily, do so: use guard symbol
$target_HOSTDEP_H for linux-user/host/$target/hostdep.h.

Do what the comment says, test for signal_pending non-zero,
rather than the current code which tests for bit 0 non-zero.

Use cfi directives in the x86-64 safe_syscall to allow gdb to get
backtraces right from within it. (In particular this will be
quite a common situation if the user interrupts QEMU while it's
in a blocked safe-syscall: at the point of the syscall insn RBP
is in use for something else, and so gdb can't find the frame then
without assistance.)

If a signal is delivered immediately before a blocking system call the
handler will only be called after the system call returns, which may be a
long time later or never.
This is fixed by using a function (safe_syscall) that checks if a guest
signal is pending prior to making a system call, and if so does not call the
system call and returns -TARGET_ERESTARTSYS. If a signal is received between
the check and the system call host_signal_handler() rewinds execution to
before the check. This rewinding has the effect of closing the race window
so that safe_syscall will reliably either (a) go into the host syscall
with no unprocessed guest signals pending or or (b) return
-TARGET_ERESTARTSYS so that the caller can deal with the signals.
Implementing this requires a per-host-architecture assembly language
fragment.
This will also resolve the mishandling of the SA_RESTART flag where
we would restart a host system call and not call the guest signal handler
until the syscall finally completed -- syscall restarting now always
happens at the guest syscall level so the guest signal handler will run.
(The host syscall will never be restarted because if the host kernel
rewinds the PC to point at the syscall insn for a restart then our
host_signal_handler() will see this and arrange the guest PC rewind.)
This commit contains the infrastructure for implementing safe_syscall
and the assembly language fragment for x86-64, but does not change any
syscalls to use it.

[PMM:
* Avoid having an architecture if-ladder in configure by putting
linux-user/host/$(ARCH) on the include path and including
safe-syscall.inc.S from it
* Avoid ifdef ladder in signal.c by creating new hostdep.h to hold
host-architecture-specific things
* Added copyright/license header to safe-syscall.inc.S
* Rewrote commit message
* Added comments to safe-syscall.inc.S
* Changed calling convention of safe_syscall() to match syscall()
(returns -1 and host error in errno on failure)
* Added a long comment in qemu.h about how to use safe_syscall()
to implement guest syscalls.
