At present the codes uses sigaction() to install signal handler with
a flag SA_RESETHAND. Such usage can be covered by the signal() API
that is a simplified interface to the general sigaction() facility.

Update to use signal() to install the signal handler, as it is
available on Windows which we are going to support.

Changes in v5:
- Replace sighandler_t with its actual definition, since it is not
  available on BSD hosts

Hmm, did you notice the error from checkpatch.pl ?

ERROR: use sigaction to establish signal handlers; signal is not portable

... rationale is given in the commit description here:

https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/e8c2091d4c4dd

... but since we likely don't care about continuing running after the first 
signal has been delivered, I guess it's ok here to use signal() instead of 
sigaction?

Yes, I noticed this checkpatch warning.

I think so. I mentioned in the commit message that the code is using
SA_RESETHAND for sigaction, and such usage can be replaced with
signal().
