Lennart Poettering 5e9f01e8a6 tree-wide: in all threads we fork off in library code, block all signals
This ensures that in all threads we fork off in the background in our
code we mask out all signals, so that our thread won't end up getting
signals delivered the main process should be getting.

We always set the signal mask before forking off the thread, so that the
thread has the right mask set from its earliest existance on.
