Since there is only signal, SIGVTALRM, which have a handler
without SA_RESTART in Ruby, there is no reason to handle EINTR in
script level, now.

However automatic restarting is a headache for proper signal handling,
as you considered to drop SA_RESTART in [ruby-dev:25762].  It is
applicable not only in C level but also in Ruby script level.
