QProcess/Unix: block all Unix signals between vfork() and exec()
This is similar to and extends the prevention of thread cancellation
introduced by commit ba05af82d3d8b7cbc6e22f93cbf1e3d1575afefe. This
prevents the situation in which a signal gets delivered (usually because
of a crash) and the parent process' handler is run, doing things it
shouldn't between vfork() and execve().
Most C libraries (all that I've investigated) unblock SIGABRT on
abort(), so this doesn't affect them. Likewise, on most OSes, crashes
ignore the signal block and terminate the application -- Darwin appears
to be an exception, but vfork() is not enabled there. Both situations
are tested by terminateInChildProcessModifier().
