We go through various hoops to disallow signals for the IO threads, but there's really no reason why we cannot just allow them. The IO threads never return to userspace like a normal thread, and hence don't go through normal signal processing. Instead, just check for a pending signal as part of the work loop, and call get_signal() to handle it for us if anything is pending. With that, we can support receiving signals, including special ones like SIGSTOP.
