x86/signal: Introduce helpers to get the maximum signal frame size
Signal frames do not have a fixed format and can vary in size when a number
of things change: supported XSAVE features, 32 vs. 64-bit apps, etc.
Add support for a runtime method for userspace to dynamically discover
how large a signal stack needs to be.
Introduce a new variable, max_frame_size, and helper functions for the
calculation to be used in a new user interface. Set max_frame_size to a
system-wide worst-case value, instead of storing multiple app-specific
values.
