tree-wide: introduce new safe_fork() helper and port everything over
This adds a new safe_fork() wrapper around fork() and makes use of it
everywhere. The new wrapper does a couple of things we previously did
manually and separately in a safer, more correct and automatic way:
1. Optionally resets signal handlers/mask in the child
2. Sets a name on all processes we fork off right after forking off (and
the patch assigns useful names for all processes we fork off now,
following a systematic naming scheme: always enclosed in () – in order
to indicate that these are not proper, exec()ed processes, but only
forked off children, and if the process is long-running with only our
own code, without execve()'ing something else, it gets am "sd-" prefix.)
3. Optionally closes all file descriptors in the child
4. Optionally sets a PR_SET_DEATHSIG to SIGTERM in the child, in a safe
way so that the parent dying before this happens being handled
safely.
5. Optionally reopens the logs
6. Optionally connects stdin/stdout/stderr to /dev/null
7. Debug logs about the forked off processes.
