core: use raw_clone instead of fork in signal handler
fork() is not async-signal-safe and calling it from the signal handler
could result in a deadlock when at_fork() handlers are called. Using
the raw clone() syscall sidesteps that problem.
The tricky part is that raise() does not work, since getpid() does not
work. Add raw_getpid() to get the real pid, and use kill() instead of
raise().
