It doesn't use sigaction. :)  Whenever the POSIX version would send a
signal to a thread, the Windows version does the following:

- call SuspendThread on the receiving thread;

- execute the signal handler code in the sending thread;

- call ResumeThread on the receiving thread.

It is not exactly the same thing, but it is enough for QEMU's needs.
