The sigevent structure includes a union with some fields which
are pointers. For the QEMU target_sigevent structure we must
represent these as abi_ulongs, not host function pointers.

This error was causing the compiler to believe it should 8-align
the _sigev_un union on a 64-bit host, which meant that the
code in target_to_host_sigevent() was looking at the wrong
offset to find the _tid field, and timer_create() would
spuriously fail with EINVAL.

This fixes the final loose end noted in LP:1042388.

While we're editing the structure, switch the 'int32_t' fields
to 'abi_int'; this will only matter for guests with non-standard
integer alignment like m68k.
