Now that we have safepoints, handlers for nonfatal asynchronous signals should be made available to applications. I think the best way to do this would be to have a pipe the multiplexer reads from and the VM writes to as signals are handled. This should be sufficient for inessential signals such as `SIGINFO` and `SIGWINCH`.
