runtime, syscall: reset signal handlers to default in child

Block all signals during a fork. In the parent process, after the
fork, restore the signal mask. In the child process, reset all
currently handled signals to the default handler, and then restore the
signal mask.

The effect of this is that the child will be operating using the same
signal regime as the program it is about to exec, as exec resets all
non-ignored signals to the default, and preserves the signal mask.

We do this so that in the case of a signal sent to the process group,
the child process will not try to run a signal handler while in the
precarious state after a fork.

Fixes #18600.
