The warning is supposed to warn that when the support for `signal()` and `sigset()` is removed, the application might stop working as expected.

> * The printing is removed from `call_os_signal()`. This warning was only correct if `signal()` or `sigset()` was called for a JVM-used signal before the JVM was installed. This is now instead covered by step 1 above.
> * If the JVM was installed first, the `signal()`/`sigset()` calls were effectively translated to `sigaction()`, and the warning was _not_ printed. When the `signal()`/`sigset()` support is dropped, this behaviour will change and the warning should be printed. This is now covered by step 2.

> ## Testing
> - [x] Test `open/test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/signal` has added checks for the deprecation warning, and passes with the fix
> - [x] Tier1-3 in progress
