process: Fix races on fatal signal handling in process_start().

To prevent fatal signals in a child process from causing the parent
process's pidfile, etc. to be deleted, we need to block fatal signals
around fork and call fatal_signal_fork() in the child process.

This problem was noticed through code inspection; it has not been observed
in practice.
