Disposition (action) for any given signal is global for the process.
When two threads run coroutine-sigaltstack's qemu_coroutine_new()
concurrently, they may interfere with each other: One of them may revert
the SIGUSR2 handler to SIG_DFL, between the other thread (a) setting up
coroutine_trampoline() as the handler and (b) raising SIGUSR2. That
SIGUSR2 will then terminate the QEMU process abnormally.
We have to ensure that only one thread at a time can modify the
process-global SIGUSR2 handler. To do so, wrap the whole section where
that is done in a mutex.
Alternatively, we could for example have the SIGUSR2 handler always be
coroutine_trampoline(), so there would be no need to invoke sigaction()
in qemu_coroutine_new(). Laszlo has posted a patch to do so here:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-01/msg05962.html
However, given that coroutine-sigaltstack is more of a fallback
implementation for platforms that do not support ucontext, that change
may be a bit too invasive to be comfortable with it. The mutex proposed
here may negatively impact performance, but the change is much simpler.

Current implementation of LLVM's SafeStack is not compatible with
code that uses an alternate stack created with sigaltstack().
Since coroutine-sigaltstack relies on sigaltstack(), it is not
compatible with SafeStack. The resulting binary is incorrect, with
different coroutines sharing the same unsafe stack and producing
undefined behavior at runtime.
In the future LLVM may provide a SafeStack implementation compatible with
sigaltstack(). In the meantime, if SafeStack is desired, the coroutine
implementation from coroutine-ucontext should be used.
As a safety check, add a control in coroutine-sigaltstack to throw a
preprocessor #error if SafeStack is enabled and we are trying to
use coroutine-sigaltstack to implement coroutines.

As soon as setjmp.h is included from qemu/osdep.h, those old include
statements are no longer needed.
Add also setjmp.h to the list in scripts/clean-includes.

Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers
which it implies are not included manually.

The coroutine files are currently referenced by the block-obj-y
variable. The coroutine functionality though is already used by
more than just the block code. eg migration code uses coroutine
yield. In the future the I/O channel code will also use the
coroutine yield functionality. Since the coroutine code is nicely
self-contained it can be easily built as part of the libqemuutil.a
library, making it widely available.
The headers are also moved into include/qemu, instead of the
include/block directory, since they are now part of the util
codebase, and the impl was never in the block/ directory
either.
