Idea: changing libuv not to install a signal handler

Hi,

So I've been having problems with a python-uvloop process which is run from a container and spawns child processes. If those child processes spawn their own children which lose their parents (eg. via demonize()) then there's no way to reap them (as PID1 is honour-bound to do). I had been addressing this by patching libuv to do something analagous to FastChildWatcher - ie. reap all process in SIGCHLD handler. But this isn't really safe and can interfere with other libraries or modules (eg. a synchronous process start in another python module).

In the mean time, Python itself has deprecated child-watchers and is now using pidfd on Linux, and a dedicated wait() thread in all other cases.

This means that PID-1 programs can just install their own SIGCHLD handler to reap orphaned processes.

I was wondering if my proposal over on libuv/libuv#4179 might be of interest here? The idea would be to pass a special flag to libuv to tell it not to install a signal handler, and then use the python child watchers to handle reaping of libuv spawned processes.

Without this, a python process which sets up a SIGCHLD handler is going to break if switching from asyncio to uvloop (ie. the switch is no longer transparent, as of python 3.12)

首先检查 libuv/libuv#4179 中提出的更改，以及 uvloop 当前如何使用 libuv 处理子进程和信号。将该行为与 Python 的 child watchers、Linux 上的 pidfd 支持，以及其他地方使用的专用等待线程进行比较；只有确定了安全的集成设计并配备适当的测试，才算完成。
