The current code is very inconsistent about which signals
are caught for doing cleanup of temporary files and lock
files. Some callsites checked only SIGINT, while others
checked a variety of death-dealing signals.
This patch factors out those signals to a single function,
and then calls it everywhere. For some sites, that means
this is a simple clean up. For others, it is an improvement
in that they will now properly clean themselves up after a
larger variety of signals.

If a piece of code wanted to do some cleanup before exiting
(e.g., cleaning up a lockfile or a tempfile), our usual
strategy was to install a signal handler that did something
like this:
do_cleanup(); /* actual work */
signal(signo, SIG_DFL); /* restore previous behavior */
raise(signo); /* deliver signal, killing ourselves */
For a single handler, this works fine. However, if we want
to clean up two _different_ things, we run into a problem.
The most recently installed handler will run, but when it
removes itself as a handler, it doesn't put back the first
handler.
This patch introduces sigchain, a tiny library for handling
a stack of signal handlers. You sigchain_push each handler,
and use sigchain_pop to restore whoever was before you in
the stack.
