Restore SIGCHLD to SIG_DFL where we care about waitpid().
It was reported that under one implementation of socks client
"git clone" fails with "error: waitpid failed (No child processes)",
because "git" is spawned after setting SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN.
Arguably it may be a broken setting, but we should protect
ourselves so that we can get reliable results from waitpid() for
the children we care about.
This patch resets SIGCHLD to SIG_DFL in three places:
- connect.c::git_connect() - initiators of git native
protocol transfer are covered with this.
- daemon.c::main() - obviously.
- merge-index.c::main() - obviously.
There are other programs that do fork() but do not waitpid():
http-push, imap-send. upload-pack does not either, but in the
case of that program, each of the forked halves runs exec()
another program, so this change would not have much effect
there.
