Summary: sigqueue const qualifier redundant in signature
Description:
The the SYNOPSIS section of the sigqueue interface, the function is
declared as follows:

int sigqueue(pid_t pid, int signo, const union sigval value);

The const qualifier on the value argument is redundant and the function
declaration would be identical without it. No other interface in the
specification makes use of redundant const qualifiers.
Desired Action:
Remove the const qualifier from the sigqueue declaration in the function
SYNOPSIS on line 62775, and make the corresponding change in the header
<signal.h> on page 337, line 11278.
