[Devel] [ns_exec] Add SIGCHLD to default clone flags

This is the default behavior. Without it, the process will not
report/be reported to the parent on a normal wait() call. Instead
the parent will need to use __WALL wait flag.

This caused a nasty bug where running 'rstr' from a checkpoint
image of a process executed with ns_exec would cause the shell
to skip to the next line in the script without waiting for the
restarted task to terminate, contrary to one's expectation.

TODO: if someone would like to run with anything else than the
SIGCHLD there, then add an option to ns_exec to allow it.

Oren.
