[XTENSA] Add support for the sa_restorer function
Supporting the sa_restorer function allows for better security since the sigreturn system call doesn't need to be placed on the stack, so the stack doesn't need to be executable. This requires support from the c-library as it has to provide the restorer function. Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net>
