In 37ef669705 (in Kilo) we made signalling
a resource asynchronous because things like e.g. scaling an autoscaling
group were too slow to do synchronously (bug 1394095).
However, for resources that don't have a handle_signal() method at all,
this means that if a signal other than one handled by Heat (e.g. to
clear a hook) is received then the user won't be notified of the error.
There will instead be an error message in the logs warning of an
unhandled exception in a thread.
(Previously, similar problems occurred if the user was attempting to
clear a hook and some error occurred. This has since been fixed as bug
1472515, in Liberty.)
If there's no handle_signal() method defined, then calling
Resource.signal() is quick (i.e. it's only going to clear a hook, or
raise an error). So handle this case synchronously. This ensures that
any error is reported to the user and not in the log.
