scoped_ignore_signal: Use sigprocmask+sigtimedwait instead of signal
The problem with using signal(...) to temporarily ignore a signal, is
that that changes the the signal disposition for the whole process.
If multiple threads do it at the same time, you have a race.
Fix this by using sigprocmask + sigtimedwait to implement the ignoring
instead, if available, which I think probably means everywhere except
Windows nowadays. This way, we only change the signal mask for the
current thread, so there's no race.
