posix-timers: Cleanup SIG_IGN workaround leftovers

Now that ignored posix timer signals are requeued and the timers are
rearmed on signal delivery the workaround to keep such timers alive and
self rearm them is not longer required.

Remove the relevant hacks and the not longer required return values from
the related functions. The alarm timer workarounds will be cleaned up in a
separate step.
