runtime: restore the Go-allocated signal stack in unminit

Currently, when we minit on a thread that already has an alternate
signal stack (e.g., because the M was an extram being used for a cgo
callback, or to handle a signal on a C thread, or because the
platform's libc always allocates a signal stack like on Android), we
simply drop the Go-allocated gsignal stack on the floor.

This is a problem for Ms on the extram list because those Ms may later
be reused for a different thread that may not have its own alternate
signal stack. On tip, this manifests as a crash in sigaltstack because
we clear the gsignal stack bounds in unminit and later try to use
those cleared bounds when we re-minit that M. On 1.9 and earlier, we
didn't clear the bounds, so this manifests as running more than one
signal handler on the same signal stack, which could lead to arbitrary
memory corruption.

This CL fixes this problem by saving the Go-allocated gsignal stack in
a new field in the m struct when overwriting it with a system-provided
signal stack, and then restoring the original gsignal stack in
unminit.

This CL is designed to be easy to back-port to 1.9. It won't quite
cherry-pick cleanly, but it should be sufficient to simply ignore the
change in mexit (which didn't exist in 1.9).

Now that we always have a place to stash the original signal stack in
the m struct, there are some simplifications we can make to the signal
stack handling. We'll do those in a later CL.

Fixes #22930.
