util: reset signals when we fork off agents

If we invoke agents, we should make sure we actually can kill them
again. I mean, it's probably not our job to cleanup the signals if our
tools are invoked in weird contexts, but at least we should make sure,
that the subprocesses we invoke and intend to control work as intended.
