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: 7c3370d4fe3fa6cda8655f109e4659afc8ca4269 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: 4d54ec7898bd951007cb6122d5315584bd41d0c4 As a result, we can now avoid blocking SIGCHLD in launch_script(), so drop that behavior.
