Trust signalfd on illumos, again.

Commit 3ab4fc5 avoided choosing signalfd by default on illumos, because it triggered kernel panics. That was fixed, so we can remove a kludge from our code. Users/packagers can still override the default choice at compile time if desired, and we'll leave the back-branches unchanged so they keep choosing self-pipe by default, but we'll default to signalfd (like we do for Linux) in 17. Fixed kernels should be everywhere by the time 17 ships.
