The recent interrupt rework introduced bit value conflicts with sparc.
Instead of introducing new architecture flags mess, move the interrupt
SA_ flags out of the signal namespace and replace them by interrupt
related flags.

This allows to remove the obsolete SA_INTERRUPT flag and clean up
the bit field values.

The patch was mostly created by a script, manually fixed up and reviewed.
Compile tested on various platforms. Boot tested on i386/x86_64


The amount of downstream wreckage from these changes is remarkably small -
I only had to diddle four or five patches and none of the git trees appear
to be affected. Right now, when the subsystems trees are maximally-merged
is the best time for this sort of thing.
