nptl: Install SIGSETXID handler with SA_ONSTACK [BZ #27914]
The signal is sent to all threads, some of which may have switched to very small stacks. If they have also installed an alternate signal stack, SA_ONSTACK makes this work. The Go runtime needs this: runtime: C.setuid/C.setgid smashes Go stack <https://github.com/golang/go/issues/9400> Doing this for SIGCANCEL is less obviously beneficial and needs further testing.
