x86, ptrace: overflow signal API

Establish the user API for sending a user-defined signal to the traced task on a BTS buffer overflow.

This should complete the user API for the BTS ptrace extension.
The patches so far implement wrap-around overflow handling as is needed for debugging.

The remaining open is another overflow handling mechanism that sends a signal to the traced task on a buffer overflow.
This will take some more time from my side.

Since, from a user perspective, this occurs behind the scenes, the patch set should already be useful. More features may/will be added on top of it (overflow signal, pageable back-up buffers, kernel tracing, core file support, profiling, ...).
