Workaround hangs in sigsuspend and sem_wait if compiled with TSan

Issue #181 (bdwgc).

* pthread_stop_world.c [!GC_OPENBSD_UTHREADS && !NACL
&& THREAD_SANITIZER] (GC_suspend_handler_inner): Call
pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK) with an empty set (thus unmask all
signals); add comment.
* pthread_stop_world.c [!GC_OPENBSD_UTHREADS && !NACL
&& THREAD_SANITIZER] (GC_stop_world): Call sem_trywait() repeatedly
(with a delay of 100 microseconds) while getting EAGAIN error (instead
of a sem_wait call).
