nptl: Perform signal initialization upon pthread_create

Install signal handlers and unblock signals before pthread_create
creates the first thread.

create_thread in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/createthread.c can send
SIGCANCEL to the current thread, so the SIGCANCEL handler is currently
needed even if pthread_cancel is never called.  (The way timer_create
uses SIGCANCEL does not need a signal handler; both SIG_DFL and SIG_IGN
dispositions should work.)
