POSIX signal has an identical definition to ISO C signal: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/functions/signal.html

void (*signal(int sig, void (*func)(int)))(int);

/* more readably restated by glibc as */
typedef void (*sighandler_t)(int);

sighandler_t signal(int signum, sighandler_t handler);

However, std/posix had omitted the function's return value; this fixes that.

To prevent breaking every single line of code ever that touched this binding (including mine...), I've also made it discardable.

Additionally, I have noticed that bsd_signal's type signature is wrong - it should have been identical to signal. But bsd_signal was already removed in POSIX 2008, and sigaction is the recommended, portable POSIX signal interface. So I just deleted the bsd_signal binding.
