std: stop exposing anything having to do with ucontext_t
This type is useful for two things:
* Doing non-local control flow with ucontext.h functions.
* Inspecting machine state in a signal handler.
The first use case is not one we support; we no longer expose bindings to those
functions in the standard library. They're also deprecated in POSIX and, as a
result, not available in musl.
The second use case is valid, but is very poorly served by the standard library.
As evidenced by my changes to std.debug.cpu_context.signal_context_t, users will
be better served rolling their own ucontext_t and especially mcontext_t types
which fit their specific situation. Further, these types tend to evolve
frequently as architectures evolve, and the standard library has not done a good
job keeping up, or even providing them for all supported targets.
