Some commands might need to perform cleanup tasks on exit. Let's give
them an interface for doing this.

This summons demons. cleanup_children() is invoked from a signal handler. In this case, it can call only async-signal-safe functions. It does not look like the handler that you are going to install later will take note of this caveat!

                children_to_clean = p->next;
                kill(p->pid, sig);
                if (!in_signal)

The condition that we see here in the context protects free(p) (which is not async-signal-safe). Perhaps the invocation of the new callback should be skipped in the same manner when this is called from a signal handler? 507d7804 (pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers) may be worth a look.
