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.
