Andrei VaginandgVisor bot 6a0edeac0f platform/kvm: rewriting bluepill() without signal handler trampolining
Implement bluepill() without relying on a signal handler trampoline by
directly switching stacks and execution contexts. Here, it is implemented
just for x86_64. The arm64 part will be implemented separately.

Here are benchmark results before and after this change: Before:
BenchmarkWorldSwitchToUserRoundtrip-8   	  255940	      4407 ns/op
After:
BenchmarkWorldSwitchToUserRoundtrip-8   	  307773	      3765 ns/op

// Package sigframe implements a mechanism to create a signal frame on the
// stack and execute a user-defined callback function within that context. The
// callback function can use the `sigreturn` system call to resuming the
// current thread with the state from the signal frame. This functionality can
// be helpful in scenarios where you need to simulate a signal handler-like
// behavior without triggering a signal.
