Kyle Evans c34a5f16fa posix_spawn(3): handle potential signal issues with vfork
Described in [1], signal handlers running in a vfork child have
opportunities to corrupt the parent's state. Address this by adding a new
rfork(2) flag, RFSPAWN, that has vfork(2) semantics but also resets signal
handlers in the child during creation.

x86 uses rfork_thread(3) instead of a direct rfork(2) because rfork with
RFMEM/RFSPAWN cannot work when the return address is stored on the stack --
further information about this problem is described under RFMEM in the
rfork(2) man page.

Addressing this has been identified as a prerequisite to using posix_spawn
in subprocess on FreeBSD [2].
