signals: use __group_complete_signal() for the specific signals too
Based on Pavel Emelyanov's suggestion.
Rename __group_complete_signal() to complete_signal() and use it to process
the specific signals too. To do this we simply add the "int group" argument.
This allows us to greatly simply the signal-sending code and adds a useful
behaviour change. We can avoid the unneeded wakeups for the private signals
because wants_signal() is more clever than sigismember(blocked), but more
importantly we now take into account the fatal specific signals too.
The latter allows us to kill some subtle checks in handle_stop_signal() and
makes the specific/group signal's behaviour more consistent. For example,
currently sigtimedwait(FATAL_SIGNAL) behaves differently depending on was the
signal sent by kill() or tkill() if the signal was not blocked.
And. This allows us to tweak/fix the behaviour when the specific signal is
sent to the dying/dead ->group_leader.
