@dmpots and I were investigating a crash when he was developing LLDB earlier. When I loaded the core I was surprised to see LLDB didn't have information for the SI_CODE. Upon inspection we had an si_code of `128`, which is the decimal of SI_KERNEL at `0x80`. 

These were overlooked in my last addition of the negative si_codes, and this patch adds SI_USER and SI_KERNEL to the list, covering us for all the codes available to all signals.

[Linux reference link](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/74b4cc9b8780bfe8a3992c9ac0033bf22ac01f19/include/uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h#L175)

I kept the code naming the same as what is defined in the Linux source code. SI_KERNEL to my understanding usually indicates something went awry in the Kernel itself, but I think adding that additional detail would not be helpful to most users. @DavidSpickett I'd appreciate your insight into that.
