`signal` improvements

[jorenham]

A "quick" github survey of scipy usage shows that scipy.signal is the second most popular subpackage, and is used twice as often as scipy.sparse.

Currently, many of the scipy.signal functions have suboptimal (broad) return (d)types. These are the ones that showed up in that survey (and their usage counts):
