signal: Allow POSIX timer signals to be dropped

In case that a timer was reprogrammed or deleted an already pending signal
is obsolete. Right now such signals are kept around and eventually
delivered. While POSIX is blury about this:

 - "The effect of disarming or resetting a timer with pending expiration
    notifications is unspecified."

 - "The disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is
    unspecified."

it is reasonable in both cases to expect that pending signals are discarded
as they have no meaning anymore.

Prepare the signal code to allow dropping posix timer signals.
