Comment:

 (In [161320946afd]):[[BR]]
 Remove SIGCHLD signal handler.

 DNS processes are already reaped in libpurple. Sound processes are
 reaped after 15 seconds. Other processes are sent through GLib and
 reaped by it. Anyway, this means we can stop preventing GStreamer
 from forking, and maybe fix a D-Bus bug, or something.

 Fixes #5553.
 Fixes #7902.
