Refactor internal-signals.h

The main drive is to optimize the internal usage and required size
when sigset_t is embedded in other data structures.  On Linux, the
current supported signal set requires up to 8 bytes (16 on mips),
was lower than the user defined sigset_t (128 bytes).

A new internal type internal_sigset_t is added, along with the
functions to operate on it similar to the ones for sigset_t.  The
internal-signals.h is also refactored to remove unused functions

Besides small stack usage on some functions (posix_spawn, abort)
it lower the struct pthread by about 120 bytes (112 on mips).

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
