In this commit, we add eight signal-related syscalls
* kill
* tkill
* tgkill
* rt_sigaction
* rt_sigreturn
* rt_sigprocmask
* rt_sigpending
* exit_group
We implement the following major features for signals:
* Generate, mask, and deliver signals
* Support user-defined signal handlers
* Support nested invocation of signal handlers
* Support passing arguments: signum, sigaction, and ucontext
* Support both process-directed and thread-directed signals
* Capture hardware exceptions and convert them to signals
* Deliver fatal signals (like SIGKILL) to kill processes gracefully
But we still have gaps, including but not limited to the points below:
* Convert #PF (page fault) and #GP (general protection) exceptions to signals
* Force delivery of signals via interrupt
* Support simulation mode
1. Use arch_prctl to replace RDFSBASE/WRFSBASE
Ptrace can't get right value if WRFSBASE is called which
will make debugger fail in simulation mode. Use arch_prctl
to replace these instructions in simulation mode.
2. Disable the busy thread in exit_group test
exit_group doesn't have a real implementation yet but test
under SGX simulation mode give core dump for exit_group test.
Disable the busy loop thread and the core dump disappear.
3. Add SDK lib path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Linker sometims can't find urts_sim and uae_service_sim when
running. Explicitly add path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running
occlum command.

BACKGROUND
The exit_group syscall, which is implicitly called by libc after the main function
returns, kills all threads in a thread group, even if these threads are
running, sleeping, or waiting on a futex.
PROBLEM
In normal use cases, exit_group does nothing since a well-written program
should terminate all threads before the main function returns. But when this is
not the case, exit_group can clean up the mess.
Currently, Occlum does not implement exit_group. And the Occlum PAL process
waits for all tasks (i.e., SGX threads) to finish before exiting. So without
exit_group implemented, some tasks may be still running if after the main task
exits. And this causes the Occlum PAL process to wait---forever.
WORKAROUND
To implement a real exit_group, we need signals to kill threads. But we do not
have signals, yet. So we come up with a workaround: instead of waiting all
tasks to finish in PAL, we just wait for the main task. As soon as the main
task exits, the PAL process terminates, killing the remaining tasks.
