Rename sigaltstack to generic signal directory, to allow adding more

Sorry - I think I mentioned I don't like this test renamed. Why are you sending
this rename still included in the patch series?

I am not renaming the test, just the directory. The directory name
is changed to signal, and I have retained the name of the test -
sas.c.

Gentle ping: I guess there was a misunderstanding; in v5, I was
also changing the name of the test, to which you objected, and
I agreed. But, we need to change the name of the directory since
the new test has no relation to the current directory name,
"sigaltstack". The patch description explains that the directory
should be generically named.


Right. You are no longer changing the test name. You are still
changing the directory name. The problem I mentioned stays the
same. Any fixes to the existing tests in this directory can no
longer auto applied to stables releases.

Other than the desire to rename the directory to generic, what
other value does this change bring?

thanks,
