Clean thread/spawn/signal usage in wmfs

- Don't create 2 thread
- Don't create status thread when conf.status_timing == 0
- Don't launch status script if still running
- Remove double fork() hack in spawn()
- Wait childs properly
- mutex on conf.status_pid and sig_chld variable, thread-safe and
  signal-safe
- Set exiting variable volatile, signal-safe
- Use sigaction instead of signal

TODO: set mutex for exiting variable because this is not thread-safe
