The posix timer signal handling uses siginfo::si_sys_private for handling
the sequence counter check. That indirection is not longer required and the
sequence count value at signal queueing time can be stored in struct
k_itimer itself.
This removes the requirement of treating siginfo::si_sys_private special as
it's now always zero as the kernel does not touch it anymore.

The firing flag of a posix CPU timer is tristate:
0: when the timer is not about to deliver a signal
1: when the timer has expired, but the signal has not been delivered yet
-1: when the timer was queued for signal delivery and a rearm operation
raced against it and supressed the signal delivery.
This is a pointless exercise as this can be simply expressed with a
boolean. Only if set, the signal is delivered. This makes delete and rearm
consistent with the rest of the posix timers.
Convert firing to bool and fixup the usage sites accordingly and add

Signals of timers which are reprogammed, disarmed or deleted can deliver
signals related to the past. The POSIX spec is blury about this:
- "The effect of disarming or resetting a timer with pending expiration
notifications is unspecified."
- "The disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is
unspecified."
In both cases it is reasonable to expect that pending signals are
discarded. Especially in the reprogramming case it does not make sense to
account for previous overruns or to deliver a signal for a timer which has
been disarmed. This makes the behaviour consistent and understandable.
Remove the si_sys_private check from the signal delivery code and invoke
posix_timer_deliver_signal() unconditionally for posix timer related
signals.
Change posix_timer_deliver_signal() so it controls the actual signal
delivery via the return value. It now instructs the signal code to drop the
signal when:
1) The timer does not longer exist in the hash table
2) The timer signal_seq value is not the same as the si_sys_private value
which was set when the signal was queued.
This is also a preparatory change to embed the sigqueue into the k_itimer
structure, which in turn allows to remove the si_sys_private magic.

The way the clockevent devices are finally stopped while a CPU is
offlining is currently chaotic. The layout being by order:
1) tick_sched_timer_dying() stops the tick and the underlying clockevent
but only for oneshot case. The periodic tick and its related
clockevent still runs.
2) tick_broadcast_offline() detaches and stops the per-cpu oneshot
broadcast and append it to the released list.
3) Some individual clockevent drivers stop the clockevents (a second time if
the tick is oneshot)
4) Once the CPU is dead, a control CPU remotely detaches and stops
(a 3rd time if oneshot mode) the CPU clockevent and adds it to the
released list.
5) The released list containing the broadcast device released on step 2)
and the remotely detached clockevent from step 4) are unregistered.
These random events can be factorized if the current clockevent is
detached and stopped by the dying CPU at the generic layer, that is
from the dying CPU:
a) Stop the tick
b) Stop/detach the underlying per-cpu oneshot broadcast clockevent
c) Stop/detach the underlying clockevent
d) Release / unregister the clockevents from b) and c)
e) Release / unregister the remaining clockevents from the dying CPU.
This part could be performed by the dying CPU
This way the drivers and the tick layer don't need to care about
clockevent operations during cpuhotplug down. This also unifies the tick
behaviour on offline CPUs between oneshot and periodic modes, avoiding
offline ticks altogether for sanity.
Adopt the simplification.

the latter is put into the released list. Then the released list is
added back.
This may look counter-intuitive but the reason is that released device
might be suitable for other uses. For example a released CPU regular
clockevent can be a better replacement for the current broadcast event.
Similarly a released broadcast clockevent can be a better replacement
for the current regular clockevent of a given CPU.

Updates of the timekeeper can be done by operating on the shadow timekeeper
and afterwards copying the result into the real timekeeper. This has the
advantage, that the sequence count write protected region is kept as small
as possible.
Convert timekeeping_inject_offset() to use this scheme.
That allows to use a scoped_guard() for locking the timekeeper lock as the
usage of the shadow timekeeper allows a rollback in the error case instead
of the full timekeeper update of the original code.

Functions which operate on the real timekeeper, e.g. do_settimeofday(),
have error conditions. If they are hit a full timekeeping update is still
required because the already committed operations modified the timekeeper.
When switching these functions to operate on the shadow timekeeper then the
full update can be avoided in the error case, but the modified shadow
timekeeper has to be restored.
Provide a helper function for that.
