  signal.h: always support 'volatile sig_atomic_t'
  
  * m4/signal_h.m4 (gl_SIGNAL_H): Check for AIX limitation.
  (gl_SIGNAL_H_DEFAULTS): Add a default.
  * modules/signal (Makefile.am): Substitute if needed.
  * lib/signal.in.h (sig_atomic_t): Redefine if needed, so that
  users can blindly add volatile.
  * doc/posix-headers/signal.texi (signal.h): Document it.

  @code{volatile sig_atomic_t} is rejected by older compilers on some
  platforms:
  AIX.
  @item
  @code{sigset_t} is only declared in <sys/types.h> on some platforms:
  mingw.
  @item
  @code{struct sigaction} and @code{siginfo_t} are missing on some
  platforms:
  mingw.
  @item
  @code{struct sigaction} lacks the @code{sa_sigaction} member on some
  platforms:
  Irix 5.3, Interix 3.5.
  @item
  The signal @code{SIGPIPE} is not defined on some platforms:
  mingw.
  @item
  The macro @code{SA_NODEFER} is not defined on some platforms:
  Interix 3.5.
