Last commit dropped qemu-ga's SIGCHLD handler, used to automatic reap
terminated children processes. This introduced a bug to
qmp_guest_shutdown(): it will generate zombies.

This problem probably doesn't matter in the success case, as the VM
will shutdown anyway, but let's do the right thing and reap the
created process.

An interesting change is that, the current code isn't able to report
errors that happen in the child (eg. exec() failures), but this commit
fixes that and child errors are now correctly reported.
