Kernel: Use user stack for signal handlers.
This commit drastically changes how signals are handled. In the case that an unblocked thread is signaled it works much in the same way as previously. However, when a blocking syscall is interrupted, we set up the signal trampoline on the user stack, complete the blocking syscall, return down the kernel stack and then jump to the handler. This means that from the kernel stack's perspective, we only ever get one system call deep. The signal trampoline has also been changed in order to properly store the return value from system calls. This is necessary due to the new way we exit from signaled system calls.
