[PATCH v3 12/17] signal: make unhandled_signal() return bool

[Christian Brauner]

unhandled_signal() already behaves like a boolean function. Let's actually
declare it as such too.
All callers treat it as such too.

This most likely makes code generation worse on embedded arhcs
which will '& 0xFF" internally.
