qemu-io: Add sigraise command
abort() has the sometimes undesirable side-effect of generating a core
dump. If that is not needed, SIGKILL has the same effect of abruptly
crash qemu; without a core dump.
Thus, -c abort is not always useful to simulate a qemu-io crash;
therefore, this patch adds a new sigraise command which allows raising
a signal.
