The sigabbrev_np returns the abbreviated signal name (e.g. "HUP" for
SIGHUP) while sigdescr_np returns the string describing the error
number (e.g "Hangup" for SIGHUP). Different than strsignal,
sigdescr_np does not attempt to translate the return description and
both functions return NULL for an invalid signal number.
They should be used instead of sys_siglist or sys_sigabbrev and they
are both thread and async-signal safe. They are added as GNU
extensions on string.h header (same as strsignal).
Checked on x86-64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
and s390x-linux-gnu.

The symbol was deprecated by strsignal and its usage imposes issues
such as copy relocations.
Its internal name is changed to __sys_siglist and __sys_sigabbrev to
avoid static linking usage. The compat code is also refactored, since
both Linux and Hurd usage the same strategy: export the same array with
different object sizes.
The libSegfault change avoids calling strsignal on the SIGFAULT signal
handler (the current usage is already sketchy, adding a call that
potentially issue locale internal function is even sketchier).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu. I also run a check-abi
on all affected platforms.

This patch removes some stray (unused) *_internal aliases, and
function prototypes with no corresponding definitions at all, at least
some of which were missed in previous INTDEF / INTUSE removal.
Not removed in this patch: __canonicalize_directory_name_internal,
noticed in the course of preparing this patch, isn't an alias, but an
actual function in sysdeps/mach/hurd/getcwd.c - apparently unused,
however.
Tested for x86_64 that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch.
