Implement async termination of blocking thread (#2516)
Send a signal whose handler is no-op to a blocking thread to wake up
the blocking syscall with either EINTR equivalent or partial success.

Unlike the approach taken in the `dev/interrupt_block_insn` branch (that is,
signal + longjmp similarly to `OS_ENABLE_HW_BOUND_CHECK`), this PR
does not use longjmp because:
* longjmp from signal handler doesn't work on nuttx
  refer to https://github.com/apache/nuttx/issues/10326
* the singal+longjmp approach may be too difficult for average programmers
  who might implement host functions to deal with
