Introduce alternate_signal_stack RAII class

This introduces a new RAII class that temporarily installs an
alternate signal stack (on systems that have sigaltstack); then
changes the one gdb use of sigaltstack to use this class instead.

This will be used in a later patch, when creating new threads that may
want to handle SIGSEGV.
