core: use GUnixSignalWatchSource to simplify signal handling

Replace the pthread_sigwait()-based signal handling with
g_unix_signal_add()-based handling, and get rid of all the
now-unnecessary calls to nm_unblock_posix_signals() when spawning
subprocesses.

As a bonus, this also fixes the "^C in gdb kills NM too" bug.
