The clone3 flag resets all signal handlers of the child not set to
SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL. It allows to skip most of the sigaction calls
to setup child signal handling, where previously a posix_spawn
had to issue 2 times NSIG sigaction calls (one to obtain the current
disposition and another to set either SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN).
With POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF the child will setup the signal for the case
where the disposition is SIG_IGN.
The code must handle the fallback where clone3 is not available. This is
done by splitting __clone_internal_fallback from __clone_internal.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
