Tom Lane 44fc6e259b Centralize setup of SIGQUIT handling for postmaster child processes. ... We decided that the policy established in commit 7634bd4f6 for the bgwriter, checkpointer, walwriter, and walreceiver processes, namely that they should accept SIGQUIT at all times, really ought to apply uniformly to all postmaster children. Therefore, get rid of the duplicative and inconsistent per-process code for establishing that signal handler and removing SIGQUIT from BlockSig. Instead, make InitPostmasterChild do it. The handler set up by InitPostmasterChild is SignalHandlerForCrashExit, which just summarily does _exit(2). In interactive backends, we almost immediately replace that with quickdie, since we would prefer to try to tell the client that we're dying. However, this patch is changing the behavior of autovacuum (both launcher and workers), as well as walsenders. Those processes formerly also used quickdie, but AFAICS that was just mindless copy-and-paste: they don't have any interactive client that's likely to benefit from being told this. The stats collector continues to be an outlier, in that it thinks SIGQUIT means normal exit. That should probably be changed for consistency, but there's another patch set where that's being dealt with, so I didn't do so here.
