Jeff King	57b235a4bc	refactor signal handling for cleanup functions 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.

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.

refactor signal handling for cleanup functions

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.

chain kill signals for cleanup functions

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.
