Using SIGSTOP/SIGCONT instead of mmap & sem_t to synchronize jobs

This code should be more portable, and certainly cleaner. We are
currently always sending SIGCONT to the last process (if it was part of
a job chain) regardless of whether it called SIGSTOP on itself or not,
which should be fine.

Need to explore whether or not the other forks in src/exec.cpp need to
be SIGSTOP'd on run or only the one that we included in this patch.
