Support `#[unix_sigpipe = "inherit|sig_dfl"]` on `fn main()` to prevent ignoring `SIGPIPE` When enabled, programs don't have to explicitly handle `ErrorKind::BrokenPipe` any longer. Currently, the program ```rust fn main() { loop { println!("hello world"); } } ``` will print an error if used with a short-lived pipe, e.g. % ./main | head -n 1 hello world thread 'main' panicked at 'failed printing to stdout: Broken pipe (os error 32)', library/std/src/io/stdio.rs:1016:9 note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace by enabling `#[unix_sigpipe = "sig_dfl"]` like this ```rust #![feature(unix_sigpipe)] #[unix_sigpipe = "sig_dfl"] fn main() { loop { println!("hello world"); } } ``` there is no error, because `SIGPIPE` will not be ignored and thus the program will be killed appropriately: % ./main | head -n 1 hello world The current libstd behaviour of ignoring `SIGPIPE` before `fn main()` can be explicitly requested by using `#[unix_sigpipe = "sig_ign"]`. With `#[unix_sigpipe = "inherit"]`, no change at all is made to `SIGPIPE`, which typically means the behaviour will be the same as `#[unix_sigpipe = "sig_dfl"]`. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/62569 and referenced issues for discussions regarding the `SIGPIPE` problem itself See the [this](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/219381-t-libs/topic/Proposal.3A.20First.20step.20towards.20solving.20the.20SIGPIPE.20problem) Zulip topic for more discussions, including about this PR.
