Avoid reuse of pending SignalInfo objects
runApp.execute -> Task.SendSignal -> sendSignalLocked -> sendSignalTimerLocked
-> pendingSignals.enqueue assumes that it owns the arch.SignalInfo returned
from platform.Context.Switch.
On the other hand, ptrace.context.Switch assumes that it owns the returned
SignalInfo and can safely reuse it on the next call to Switch. The KVM platform
always returns a unique SignalInfo.
This becomes a problem when the returned signal is not immediately delivered,
allowing a future signal in Switch to change the previous pending SignalInfo.
This is noticeable in #38 when external SIGINTs are delivered from the PTY
slave FD. Note that the ptrace stubs are in the same process group as the
sentry, so they are eligible to receive the PTY signals. This should probably
change, but is not the only possible cause of this bug.
