RBIMPL_ATTR_NONNULL(())
/**
 * Sends a signal ("kills") to processes.
 *
 * The first argument is the signal, either in:
 *
 *   - Numerical representation (e.g. `9`), or
 *   - Textual  representation   of  canonical   (e.g.   `:SIGKILL`)   name  or
 *     abbreviated (e.g. `:KILL`) name, either in ::rb_cSymbol or ::rb_cString.
 *
 * All the  remaining arguments are  numerical representations of  process IDs.
 * This function iterates over them to send the specified signal.
 *
 * You can specify both negative PIDs and negative signo to this function:
 *
 *   ```
 *    sig \ pid | >= 1 | == 0 | == -1 | <= -2
 *   ===========+======+======+=======+=======
 *        > 0   |  #1  |  #2  |  #3   |  #4
 *       == 0   |  #5  |  #6  |  #7   |  #8
 *        < 0   |  #9  |  #10 |      #11
 *   ```
 *
 *   - Case #1: When  signo and PID are both positive,  this function sends the
 *     specified signal to the specified process (intuitive).
 *
 *   - Case #2: When  signo is  positive and PID  is zero, this  function sends
 *     that signal to the current process group.
 *
 *   - Case #3: When signo is positive and  PID is -1, this function sends that
 *     signal to everything that the current process is allowed to kill.
 *
 *   - Case #4: When signo  is positive and PID is negative  (but not -1), this
 *     function sends that signal to every  processes in a process group, whose
 *     process group ID is the absolute value of the passed PID.
 *
 *   - Case #5: When  signo  is zero  and PID is  positive, this  function just
 *     checks  for the  existence of  the  specified process  and doesn't  send
 *     anything to  anyone.  In  case the process  is absent  `Errno::ESRCH` is
 *     raised.
 *
 *   - Case #6: When signo and PID are  both zero, this function checks for the
 *     existence of the current process group.   And it must do.  This function
 *     is effectively a no-op then.
 *
 *   - Case #7: When signo is zero and PID is -1, this function checks if there
 *     is any other  process that the current process can  kill.  At least init
 *     (PID 1) must exist, so this must not fail.
 *
 *   - Case #8: When  signo is  zero and  PID is  negative (but  not -1),  this
 *     function checks  if there is a  process group whose process  group ID is
 *     the absolute  value of  the passed  PID.  In case  the process  group is
 *     absent `Errno::ESRCH` is raised.
 *
 *   - Case #9: When signo is negative and PID is positive, this function sends
 *     the absolute value of the passed signo to the process group specified as
 *     the PID.
 *
 *   - Case #10: When signo is negative and  PID is zero, it is highly expected
 *     that this function  sends the absolute value of the  passed signo to the
 *     current  process   group.   Strictly  speaking,  IEEE   Std  1003.1-2017
 *     specifies that  this (`killpg(3posix)` with  an argument of zero)  is an
 *     undefined behaviour.  But no operating system  is known so far that does
 *     things differently.
 *
 *   - Case #11: When  signo and PID  are both negative, the  behaviour of this
 *     function  depends on  how `killpg(3)`  works.  On  Linux, it  seems such
 *     attempt is  strictly prohibited and  `Errno::EINVAL` is raised.   But on
 *     macOS, it seems it  tries to to send the signal  actually to the process
 *     group.
 *
 * @note       Above description is in fact different from how `kill(2)` works.
 *             We interpret the passed arguments before passing them through to
 *             system calls.
 * @param[in]  argc                 Number of objects in `argv`.
 * @param[in]  argv                 Signal, followed by target PIDs.
 * @exception  rb_eArgError         Unknown signal name.
 * @exception  rb_eSystemCallError  Various errors sending signal to processes.
 * @return     Something numeric.  The meaning of this return value is unclear.
 *             It seems in case of #1 above, this could be the body count.  But
 *             other cases remain mysterious.
