Add cv_wait_interruptible() function.

This is a minor extension to the condition variable API to allow
for reasonable signal handling on Linux.  The cv_wait() function by
definition must wait unconditionally for cv_signal()/cv_broadcast()
before waking it.  This makes it impossible to woken by a signal
such as SIGTERM.  The cv_wait_interruptible() function was added
to handle this case.  It behaves identically to cv_wait() with the
exception that it waits interruptibly allowing a signal to wake it
up.  This means you do need to be careful and check issig() after
waking.
