linux: Add clone3 CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND optimization to posix_spawn
The clone3 flag resets all signal handlers of the child not set to
SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL.  It allows to skip most of the sigaction calls
to setup child signal handling, where previously a posix_spawn
had to issue 2 times NSIG sigaction calls (one to obtain the current
disposition and another to set either SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN).

With POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF the child will setup the signal for the case
where the disposition is SIG_IGN.

The code must handle the fallback where clone3 is not available. This is
done by splitting __clone_internal_fallback from __clone_internal.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
