Ulrich Drepper 9deb27baed flag parameters: signalfd
This patch adds the new signalfd4 syscall.  It extends the old signalfd
syscall by one parameter which is meant to hold a flag value.  In this
patch the only flag support is SFD_CLOEXEC which causes the close-on-exec
flag for the returned file descriptor to be set.

A new name SFD_CLOEXEC is introduced which in this implementation must
have the same value as O_CLOEXEC.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.
