New configuration header file to include/ exclude functionality.
Extracted privileged features from struct proc and create new struct priv.
Renamed various system calls for readability.

/* The system call that is implemented in this file:
* SYS_SIGCTL # signal handling functionality
*
* The parameters and types for this system call are:
* SIG_REQUEST # request to perform (long)
* SIG_PROC # process to signal/ pending (int)
* SIG_CTXT_PTR # pointer to sigcontext structure (pointer)
* SIG_FLAGS # flags for S_SIGRETURN call (int)
* SIG_MAP # bit map with pending signals (long)
* SIG_NUMBER # signal number to send to process (int)
*
* Supported request types are in the parameter SIG_REQUEST:
* S_GETSIG # get a pending kernel signal
* S_ENDSIG # signal has been processed
* S_SENDSIG # deliver a POSIX-style signal
* S_SIGRETURN # return from a POSIX-style signal
* S_KILL # send a signal to a process
