Fix pg_dump's sigTermHandler() to use _exit() not exit().
sigTermHandler() tried to be careful to invoke only operations that are safe to do in a signal handler. But for some reason we forgot that exit(3) is not among those, because it calls atexit handlers that might do various random things. (pg_dump itself installs no atexit handlers, but e.g. OpenSSL does.) That led to crashes or lockups when attempting to terminate a parallel dump or restore via a signal. Fix by calling _exit() instead. Per bug #16199 from Raúl Marín. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16199-cb2f121146a96f9b@postgresql.org
