rc: avoid calling free inside SIGCHLD handler
`free` is not async-signal-safe and calling it inside a signal handler can have bad effects, as reported in the musl ML: https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2023/01/23/1 the solution: - keep track of weather remove_pid() is being called from inside a signal handler or not. - if it's inside a signal handler then DO NOT call free - instead put that pointer into a "to be freed later" list. - if it's not inside a signal handler then take the "to be freed later" list and free anything in it. Bug: https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/issues/589 Reported-by: Dominique MARTINET <dominique.martinet@atmark-techno.com>
