signals: introduce do_send_sig_info() helper
Introduce do_send_sig_info() and convert group_send_sig_info(), send_sig_info(), do_send_specific() to use this helper. Hopefully it will have more users soon, it allows to specify specific/group behaviour via "bool group" argument. Shaves 80 bytes from .text.
