This allows SA_RESTART to be supported along with various case
where pending signals need to be handled before a system call.

New macro TARGET_ERESTARTSYS which is the error code used by Linux
to indicate that system call should be restarted.

TARGET_QEMU_ESIGRETURN moved into errno_defs.h and renumbered to
513 which is safe from future use as a system call return value
as it is used for system call restarting in Linux and exposed only
via ptrace.

do_sigreturn() and do_rt_sigreturn() will be amended to return
-TARGET_QEMU_ESIGRETURN rather than the value of result register to
avoid confusion with -TARGET_ERESTARTSYS and cpu_loop() will be
altered to act upon the return value accordingly.

I feel like the commit message (especially the subject line) is
a bit askew from the actual contents of the patch, but codewise
it's OK.

> +#define TARGET_QEMU_ESIGRETURN 513  /* Return from signal */

I think these comments are not very useful -- they don't tell
you anything you couldn't have figured out from the constant name.
It would be better to provide a comment of a sentence or two
explaining how these are used (and also remarking that they are
not real target errnos but only visible internal to QEMU).

Otherwise
