os/signal: rework test timeouts and concurrency

Use a uniform function (named “quiesce”) to wait for possible signals
in a way that gives the kernel many opportunities to deliver them.

Simplify channel usage and concurrency in stress tests.

Use (*testing.T).Deadline instead of parsing the deadline in TestMain.

In TestStop, sleep forever in a loop if we expect the test to die from
a signal. That should reduce the flakiness of TestNohup, since
TestStop will no longer spuriously pass when run as a subprocess of
TestNohup.

Since independent signals should not interfere, run the different
signals in TestStop in parallel when testing in short mode.

Since TestNohup runs TestStop as a subprocess, and TestStop needs to
wait many times for signals to quiesce, run its test subprocesses
concurrently and in short mode — reducing the latency of that test by
more than a factor of 2.

The above two changes reduce the running time of TestNohup on my
workstation to ~345ms, making it possible to run much larger counts of
the test in the same amount of wall time. If the test remains flaky
after this CL, we can spend all or part of that latency improvement on
a longer settle time.

Updates #33174
