signal: Use SEND_SIG_PRIV not SEND_SIG_FORCED with SIGKILL and SIGSTOP
Now that siginfo is never allocated for SIGKILL and SIGSTOP there is no difference between SEND_SIG_PRIV and SEND_SIG_FORCED for SIGKILL and SIGSTOP. This makes SEND_SIG_FORCED unnecessary and redundant in the presence of SIGKILL and SIGSTOP. Therefore change users of SEND_SIG_FORCED that are sending SIGKILL or SIGSTOP to use SEND_SIG_PRIV instead. This removes the last users of SEND_SIG_FORCED.
