Branch point for: prg-localcount2 



Add the new signalname/signalnext/signalnumber interface to libc.

This as discussed on current-users in the thread
entitled:
  Proposal: new libc/libutil functions to map SIGXXXX <-> "XXXX"
that can be found (starting at):
  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2017/04/28/msg031600.html

These functions provide the mechanism to enable applications
to divorce themselves from internal details of the signal
implementation.

Libc minor bumped, prototypes in <signal.h>, sets lists updated (and sorted).

One and all: feel free to improve the sources & man page (etc), but
please do not change the function signatures without discussion.
