restore SIGCHLD sighandler to default before spawning a program

From sigaction(2):
A child created via fork(2) inherits a copy of its parent's signal dispositions.
During an execve(2), the dispositions of handled signals are reset to the default;
the dispositions of ignored signals are left unchanged.

This refused to start directly some programs from configuring in config.h:

Some reported programs that didn't start were: mpv.

Similar to the commit e81f17d4c196aaed6893fd4beed49991caa3e2a4 from dwm.
