signal: Remove SEND_SIG_FORCED
There are no more users of SEND_SIG_FORCED so it may be safely removed. Remove the definition of SEND_SIG_FORCED, it's use in is_si_special, it's use in TP_STORE_SIGINFO, and it's use in __send_signal as without any users the uses of SEND_SIG_FORCED are now unncessary. This makes the code simpler, easier to understand and use. Users of signal sending functions now no longer need to ask themselves do I need to use SEND_SIG_FORCED.
