Clear the signal mask for child processes

This adds a callback function which glib calls after it fork()'d and did all the
necessary setup. This callback function clears our signal mask.

This is necessary because libev 3.8 and later use signalfd and therefor have to
add those signals to the signal mask. Processes started through awesome would
inherit this signal mask and I can tell you, some app which ignores ctrl-c
confuses people a lot.
