Peter Maydell 0376e9c2dd linux-user/i386/signal.c: Correct definition of target_fpstate_32
Our definition of the target_fpstate_32 struct doesn't match the
kernel's version.  We only use this struct definition in the
definition of 'struct sigframe', where it is used in a field that is
present only for legacy reasons to retain the offset of the following
'extramask' field.  So really all that matters is its length, and we
do get that right; but our previous definition using
X86LegacySaveArea implicitly added an extra alignment constraint
(because X86LegacySaveArea is tagged as 16-aligned) which the real
target_fpstate_32 does not have.  Because we allocate and use a
'struct sigframe' on the guest's stack with the guest's alignment
requirements, this resulted in the undefined-behaviour sanitizer
complaining during 'make check-tcg' for i386-linux-user:

../../linux-user/i386/signal.c:471:35: runtime error: member access within misaligned address 0x1000c07f75ec for type 'struct sigframe', which requires 16 byte alignment

              ^

and various similar errors.

Replace the use of X86LegacyXSaveArea with a set of fields that match
the kernel _fpstate_32 struct, and assert that the length is correct.
We could equally have used
   uint8_t legacy_area[512];
but following the kernel is probably less confusing overall.

Since in target/i386/cpu.h we assert that X86LegacySaveArea is 512
bytes, and in linux-user/i386/signal.c we assert that
target_fregs_state is (32 + 80) bytes, the new assertion confirms
that we didn't change the size of target_fpstate_32 here, only its
alignment requirements.
