posix timers: sigqueue_free: don't free sigqueue if it is queued

Currently sigqueue_free() removes sigqueue from list, but doesn't cancel the
pending signal. This is not consistent, the task should either receive the
"full" signal along with siginfo_t, or it shouldn't receive the signal at all.

Change sigqueue_free() to clear SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC but leave sigqueue on list
if it is queued.

This is a user-visible change. If the signal is blocked, it stays queued
after sys_timer_delete() until unblocked with the "stale" si_code/si_value,
and of course it is still counted wrt RLIMIT_SIGPENDING which also limits
the number of posix timers.
