eshell/kill does not grok -USR1

[Kai Grossjohann]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

In eshell, "kill -HUP 42" works to send the HUP signal to process 42,
but "kill -USR1 42" does not work to send the USR1 signal.

I guess this is because of the regex in line 185 of esh-proc.el:

              (if (string-match "^-\\([A-Z]+\\)$" id)
