Use sigaction(SA_NOCLDWAIT) for SIGCHLD handling
signal() semantics are pretty unclearly specified. For example, depending on OS
kernel and libc, the handler may be returned to SIG_DFL (hence the inner call
to read the signal handler). Moving to sigaction() means the behaviour is
consistently defined.
Using SA_NOCLDWAIT also allows us to avoid calling the non-reentrant function
die() in the handler.
Some addditional notes for archival purposes:
* NRK pointed out errno of waitpid could also theoretically get clobbered.
* The original patch was iterated on and modified by NRK and Hiltjo:
* SIG_DFL was changed to SIG_IGN, this is required, atleast on older systems
such as tested on Slackware 11.
* signals are not blocked using sigprocmask, because in theory it would
briefly for example also ignore a SIGTERM signal. It is OK if waitpid() is (in
theory interrupted).
