Make child processes exit when parent dies

The child processes call prctl() and when their parent process is
killed, they are sent SIGTERM using prctl. This is currently
Linux-specific, for non-Linuxes, a similar effect is achieved by
catching a set of common termination signals and sending SIGTERM to the
process group.
