It was reported that under one implementation of socks client
"git clone" fails with "error: waitpid failed (No child processes)",
because "git" is spawned after setting SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN.
Arguably it may be a broken setting, but we should protect
ourselves so that we can get reliable results from waitpid() for
the children we care about.
This patch resets SIGCHLD to SIG_DFL in three places:
- connect.c::git_connect() - initiators of git native
protocol transfer are covered with this.
- daemon.c::main() - obviously.
- merge-index.c::main() - obviously.
There are other programs that do fork() but do not waitpid():
http-push, imap-send. upload-pack does not either, but in the
case of that program, each of the forked halves runs exec()
another program, so this change would not have much effect
there.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
