Asynchronous signal handling.
 
This crate provides the [`Signals`] type, which can be used to listen for POSIX signals asynchronously. It can be seen as an asynchronous version of [`signal_hook::iterator::Signals`].

This is a fork of [async-signal](https://github.com/smol-rs/async-signal) to also provide `siginfo_t` via the async stream. As `siginfo_t` is a Unix specific feature, support for Windows is also removed from the crate.

[`Signals`]: https://docs.rs/async-signal-with-info/latest/async_signal/struct.Signals.html
[`signal_hook::iterator::Signals`]: https://docs.rs/signal-hook/latest/signal_hook/iterator/struct.Signals.html

# Implementation

This crate uses the [`signal_hook_registry`] crate to register a listener for each signal. That listener will then send a message through a Unix socket to the [`Signals`] type, which will receive it and notify the user. Asynchronous notification is done through the [`futures-channel`] crate.

A background thread is used for reading signal messages to avoid signal losses caused by buffer overruns, which is a problem for the original crate.

[`signal_hook_registry`]: https://crates.io/crates/signal-hook-registry
[`futures-channel`]: https://crates.io/crates/futures-channel

# Examples

```rust
use async_signal::{Signal, Signals};
use futures_lite::prelude::*;
use signal_hook::low_level;

// Register the signals we want to receive.
let mut signals = Signals::new([
    Signal::Term,
    Signal::Quit,
    Signal::Int,
])?;

// Wait for a signal to be received.
while let Some((signal, siginfo)) = signals.next().await {
    // Print the signal.
    eprintln!("Received signal {:?} {:p}", signal, unsafe { siginfo.si_value().sigval_ptr });

    // After printing it, do whatever the signal was supposed to do in the first place.
    low_level::emulate_default_handler(signal.unwrap() as i32).unwrap();
}
```
