startup: do not pass signals on to the child

Formerly /hurd/startup would forward all signals to the child it
started (e.g. /libexec/runsystem).

The motivation for doing so is not revealed in the comments, nor it is
mentioned in the history of the version control system.

This patch removes the forwarding of signals to the child.

* startup/startup.c (process_signal): Do not pass signals on to the child.
* startup/stubs.c: Remove file.
* startup/Makefile: Remove stubs.c.
