    Port sighandler to tree-branch

blocks SIGPIPE. Unfortunatelly blocked signal set is preserved accross
execve()s, so any program executed by i3 inherited blocked SIGPIPE signal.
This leads to courious effects when pipe writer does not terminate after
exiting pipe reader.

Simple reproducer is to spawn a new xterm by a key shortcut and then run this
command there:

$ perl -e 'print $SIG{PIPE}, qq{\n}'
IGNORE

fixes #1237
