Make Linux signal handler more robust.

Breakpad can be used on processes where a mistaken
library saves then restores one of our signal handlers
with 'signal' instead of 'sigaction'.

This loses the SA_SIGINFO flag associated with the 
Breakpad handler, and in some cases (e.g. Android/ARM
kernels), the values of the 'info' and 'uc' parameters
that ExceptionHandler::SignalHandler() receives will
be completely bogus, leading to a crash when the function
is executed (and of course, no minidump generation).

To work-around this, have SignalHandler() check the state
of the flag. If it is incorrectly unset, re-register with
'sigaction' and the correct flag, then return. The signal
will be re-thrown, and this time the function will be
called with the correct values.
