don't reject unknown/future flags in sigaltstack, allow SS_AUTODISARM
historically, and likely accidentally, sigaltstack was specified to
fail with EINVAL if any flag bit other than SS_DISABLE was set. the
resolution of Austin Group issue 1187 fixes this so that the
requirement is only to fail for SS_ONSTACK (which cannot be set) or
"invalid" flags.
Linux fails on the kernel side for invalid flags, but historically
accepts SS_ONSTACK as a no-op, so it needs to be rejected in userspace
still.
with this change, the Linux-specific SS_AUTODISARM, provided since
commit 9680e1d03a but unusable due to
rejection at runtime, is now usable.
