This patch defines an extra_context signal frame record that can be
used to describe an expanded signal frame, and modifies the context
block allocator and signal frame setup and parsing code to create,
populate, parse and decode this block as necessary.

To avoid abuse by userspace, parse_user_sigframe() attempts to
ensure that:

 * no more than one extra_context is accepted;
 * the extra context data is a sensible size, and properly placed
   and aligned.

The extra_context data is required to start at the first 16-byte
aligned address immediately after the dummy terminator record
following extra_context in rt_sigframe.__reserved[] (as ensured
during signal delivery).  This serves as a sanity-check that the
signal frame has not been moved or copied without taking the extra
data into account.
