Drop support for getting signal descriptions from sys_siglist[].

It appears that all platforms that have sys_siglist[] also have
strsignal(), making that fallback case in pg_strsignal() dead code.
Getting rid of it allows dropping a configure test, which seems worth
more than providing textual signal descriptions on whatever platforms
might still hypothetically have use for the fallback case.
