{get,set,swap,make}context functions. Based on a initial patch by Carmelo
Amoroso.

+         Add into library the SuSv3 obsolescent functions used for context
+         control. The setcontext family allows the implementation in C of
+         advanced control flow patterns such as iterators, fibers, and
+         coroutines. They may be viewed as an advanced version of
+         setjmp/longjmp; whereas the latter allows only a single non-local jump
+         up the stack, setcontext allows the creation of multiple cooperative
+         threads of control, each with its own stack.
+         These functions are: setcontext, getcontext, makecontext, swapcontext.
