posix-timers: Move sequence logic into struct k_itimer

Browse Source 
The posix timer signal handling uses siginfo::si_sys_private for handling
the sequence counter check. That indirection is not longer required and the
sequence count value at signal queueing time can be stored in struct
k_itimer itself.

This removes the requirement of treating siginfo::si_sys_private special as
it's now always zero as the kernel does not touch it anymore.
