dix/os: backport various signal handling and smart scheduler changes from X.org

    dix: Use OsSignal() not signal()

    As the man page for the latter states:

        The effects of signal() in a multithreaded process are unspecified.

    We already have an interface to call sigaction() instead, use it.

    Remove non-smart scheduler. Don't require setitimer.

    This allows the server to call GetTimeInMillis() after each request is
    processed to avoid needing setitimer. -dumbSched now turns off the
    setitimer.

    Keep SIGALRM restart flag after Popen

    Commit 94ab7455 added SA_RESTART to the SIGALRM handler.  However, the
    Popen code tears down and recreates the SIGALRM handler via OsSignal(),
    and this flag is dropped at this time.

    Clean the code to use just a single codepath for creating this signal
    handler, always applying SA_RESTART.

    Allow system call restarts upon signal interruption

    The X server frequently deals with SIGIO and SIGALRM interruptions.
    If process execution is inside certain blocking system calls
    when these signals arrive, e.g. with the kernel blocked on
    a contended semaphore, the system calls will be interrupted.

    Some system calls are automatically restartable (the kernel re-executes
    them with the same parameters once the signal handler returns) but
    only if the signal handler allows it.

    Set SA_RESTART on the signal handlers to enable this convenient
    behaviour.

    Don't frob timers unless SmartSchedule is running

    reduce wakeups from smart scheduler

    The smart scheduler itimer currently always fires after each request
    (which in turn causes the CPU to wake out of idle, burning precious
    power). Rather than doing this, just stop the timer before going into
    the select() portion of the WaitFor loop. It's a cheap system call, and
    it will only get called if there's no more commands batched up from the
    active fd.

    This change also allows some of the functions to be simplified;
    setitimer() will only fail if it's passed invalid data, and we don't do
    that... so make it void and remove all the conditional code that deals
    with failure.

    The change also allows us to remove a few variables that were used for
    housekeeping between the signal handler and the main loop.

 **Note**: The above change also required ABI changes in hw/nxagent/.

    So, like, checking return codes of system calls (signal, etc) is good.
    Also, only restore an old signal handler if one was actually set
    (prevents the server from dying on OS X).

    Ignore - not just block - SIGALRM around Popen()/Pclose().

    Because our "popen" implementation uses stdio, and because nobody's stdio
    library is capable of surviving signals, we need to make absolutely sure
    that we hide the SIGALRM from the smart scheduler.  Otherwise, when you
    open a menu in openoffice, and it recompiles XKB to deal with the
    accelerators, and you popen xkbcomp because we suck, then the scheduler
    will tell you you're taking forever doing something stupid, and the
    wait() code will get confused, and input will hang and your CPU usage
    slams to 100%.  Down, not across.
