System processes can be signaled; signals are transformed in SYS_EVENT message

that passes signal map along. This mechanisms is also used for nonuser signals
like SIGKMESS, SIGKSTOP, SIGKSIG.

Revised comments of many system call handlers. Renamed setpriority to nice.

/* The system call that is implemented in this file:
* SYS_SIGCTL # signal handling functionality
* m_type: SYS_SIGRETURN
*
* The parameters and types for this system call are:
* SIG_REQUEST # request to perform (long)
* SIG_PROC # process to signal/ pending (int)
* SIG_CTXT_PTR # pointer to sigcontext structure (pointer)
* SIG_FLAGS # flags for S_SIGRETURN call (int)
* SIG_MAP # bit map with pending signals (long)
* SIG_NUMBER # signal number to send to process (int)
* The parameters for this system call are:
* m2_i1: SIG_PROC # process returning from handler
* m2_p1: SIG_CTXT_PTR # pointer to sigcontext structure
*
* Supported request types are in the parameter SIG_REQUEST:
* S_GETSIG # get a pending kernel signal
* S_ENDSIG # signal has been processed
* S_SENDSIG # deliver a POSIX-style signal
* S_SIGRETURN # return from a POSIX-style signal
* S_KILL # send a signal to a process
