signal/x86/traps: Move more code into do_trap_no_signal so it can be reused

The function do_trap_no_signal embodies almost all of the work of the
function do_trap.  The exceptions are setting of thread.error_code and
thread.trap_nr in the case when the signal will be sent, and reporting
which signal will be sent with show_signal.

Filling in struct siginfo and then calling do_trap is problematic as
filling in struct siginfo is an fiddly process that can through
inattention has resulted in fields not initialized and the wrong
fields being filled in.

To avoid this error prone situation I am replacing force_sig_info with
a set of functions that take as arguments the information needed to
send a specific kind of signal.

The function do_trap is called in the context of several different
kinds of signals today.  Having a solid do_trap_no_signal that
can be reused allows call sites that send different kinds of
signals to reuse all of the code in do_trap_no_signal.

Modify do_trap_no_signal to have a single exit there signals
where be sent (aka returning -1) to allow more of the signal
sending path to be moved to from do_trap to do_trap_no_signal.

Move setting thread.trap_nr and thread.error_code into do_trap_no_signal
so the code does not need to be duplicated.

Make the type of the string that is passed into do_trap_no_signal to
const.  The only user of that str is die and it already takes a const
string, so this just makes it explicit that the string won't change.

All of this prepares the way for using do_trap_no_signal outside
of do_trap.
