commune_send to commune_request throughout.
* pinfo.h (PICOM_EXTRASTR): New flag.
(PICOM_FIFO): Define with new flag.
(_pinfo::hello_pid): Delete.
(_pinfo::tothem): Delete.
(_pinfo::fromthem): Delete.
(_pinfo::commune_process): Rename from commune_recv. Add a siginfo_t argument
to declaration.
(_pinfo::commune_request): Rename from commune_send. Change DWORD to
__uint32_t in declaration.
* pinfo.cc (_pinfo::commune_process): Rename from commune_recv. Add siginfo_t
argument. Use information from argument rather than reading from another pipe.
Synchronize with other process's commune event.
(_pinfo::commune_request): Rename from commune_send. Change DWORD to __uint32
in argument. Fill out information in new siginfo_t element and rely on
extended operation of sig_send rather than trying to deal with synchronization
issues here. Use process handle and read pipe information filled out by
sig_send to gather information from the other process.
* sigproc.cc (sig_send): Take special action if "communing" to ensure
synchronization with the other process and to return information about the
other process to the caller.
(talktome): Accept a siginfo_t and handle arguments. Read additional
information from the signal pipe when _si_commune._si_code has the
PICOM_EXTRASTR flag set.
(wait_sig): Pass the transmitted siginfo_t struct and the pipe handle to
talktome. Close pipe read handle as soon as possible after we detect that
we're exiting.
