The list of signals is specified in the RFC, but while we can generate
(and process) all of these, only the ones for which the client has a
signal handler will be automatically passed on.

I'm not entirely happy with the client interface, but it worked for
testing.  (Should also interop test with at least one other
implementation, I think PuTTY has it these days.)
