patch to reset SIGCHLD handler in milters

I'm filing this bug here since it appears that y'all are doing more to maintain Sendmail::PMilter than its actual maintainers.

In https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=85826 , I report that Sendmail::PMilter prevents milters from forking and reaping their own child processes, because it sets a SIGCHLD handler in the parent process and then doesn't remove it in the children.

The fix (attached) is obvious and trivial.

Could you put this in the Fedora RPM?

Thank you.
