unix/SignalHandlers: shut down if parent process dies in --no-daemon mode

By default, if the parent of a process dies, the process gets SIGHUP and is supposed to shut down. This however doesn't work for MPD, because MPD redefines SIGHUP with a different meaning (like most daemons do). To work around this, we configure the kernel to send SIGTERM instead of SIGHUP. Closes https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/1706
