You know, without signal blocking I fear we simply won't be able
to tack children properly. Look here is an example

	pid = vfork();
	if (pid == 0) {
		_exit(1);

		here sigchld already delivered to the libev
		and it reaped it, vanishing from the system
		so that anyother application can reuse it
	} else {
		ev_child_init(&handle->ev_sigchld, ev_sigchld_cb, pid, 0);
		ev_child_start(EV_DEFAULT_ &handle->ev_sigchld);

		but pid already dead and reused by someone else,
		as I said wait() called under the hood, we simply
		don't control it
	}

and without signal blocking we can't order pid livetime anyhow.
You know in my first versions I setup ev_child_init with pid=0
and been expecting the sgnal handler catches _any_ sigchld but
it didn't work :/ Thus early _exit(1) in child process was
simply invisible to the rest of tarantool code.
