Tom Tromey 21987b9c06 Add RAII class for blocking gdb signals
This adds configury support and an RAII class that can be used to
temporarily block signals that are used by gdb.  (This class is not
used in this patch, but it split out for easier review.)

The idea of this patch is that these signals should only be delivered
to the main thread.  So, when creating a background thread, they are
temporarily blocked; the blocked state is inherited by the new thread.

The sigprocmask man page says:

    The use of sigprocmask() is unspecified in a multithreaded
    process; see pthread_sigmask(3).

This patch changes gdb to use pthread_sigmask when appropriate, by
introducing a convenience define.

I've updated gdbserver as well, because I had to touch gdbsupport, and
because the threading patches will make it link against the thread
library.

I chose not to touch the NTO code, because I don't know anything about
that platform and because I cannot test it.

Finally, this modifies an existing spot in the Guile layer to use the
new facility.
