99b5beba2f coroutine: Fix setup of sigaltstack coroutines
Use pthread_kill instead of process-wide kill to invoke the signal
handler used for stack switching. This may fix spurious lock-ups with
this backend, easily triggerable by extending the time window between
kill and sigsuspend.

3194c8ceeb coroutine: adding sigaltstack method (.c source)
This file is based in both coroutine-ucontext.c and
pth_mctx.c (from the GNU Portable Threads library).

The mechanism used to change stacks is the sigaltstack
function (variant 2 of the pth library).

v2: Some corrections. Moving global variables into
thread storage (CoroutineThreadState).
