This patch fixes a bug where child processes of launch_script() can
misbehave due to SIGCHLD being blocked. In the case of `sudo`, this
causes a permanent hang.
Previously a SIGCHLD handler was added to reap fork_exec()'d zombie
processes by calling waitpid(-1, ...). This required other
fork()/waitpid() callers to temporarilly block SIGCHILD to avoid
having the final wait status being intercepted by the SIGCHLD
handler:
7c3370d4fe
Since then, the qemu_add_child_watch() interface was added to allow
registration of such processes and reap only from that specific set
of PIDs:
4d54ec7898
As a result, we can now avoid blocking SIGCHLD in launch_script(), so
drop that behavior.
