Turns out that returning "unrecognized signal" is confusing.
Make it explicit that the platform lacks any support for signal names.
(At least of the machines in the buildfarm, only HPUX lacks it.)
Back-patch to v12 where we invented this function.

It appears that all platforms that have sys_siglist[] also have
strsignal(), making that fallback case in pg_strsignal() dead code.
Getting rid of it allows dropping a configure test, which seems worth
more than providing textual signal descriptions on whatever platforms
might still hypothetically have use for the fallback case.

At least as far back as the 2008 spec, POSIX has defined strsignal(3)
for looking up descriptive strings for signal numbers. We hadn't gotten
the word though, and were still using the crufty old sys_siglist array,
which is in no standard even though most Unixen provide it.
Aside from not being formally standards-compliant, this was just plain
ugly because it involved #ifdef's at every place using the code.
To eliminate the #ifdef's, create a portability function pg_strsignal,
which wraps strsignal(3) if available and otherwise falls back to
sys_siglist[] if available. The set of Unixen with neither API is
probably empty these days, but on any platform with neither, you'll
just get "unrecognized signal". All extant callers print the numeric
signal number too, so no need to work harder than that.
Along the way, upgrade pg_basebackup's child-error-exit reporting
to match the rest of the system.
