util-runcmd: ignore spurious ECHILD errors
when we get ECHILD in samba_runcmd it is because the parent has set SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN. In that case the child status information is lost. We then have to fallback on the logging of child error messages for any useful information on what happened to the child. A longer term fix is to stop using SIG_IGN for SIGCHLD in the standard process model of s4.
