/*
 * Run a command while logging its stdout and stderr
 *
 * WARNING: while this function is running it will clear all SIGCHLD handlers
 * if you rely on SIGCHLD in the caller there is a chance zombies will be
 * created if you're not calling waitpid after calling this. This function will
 * log a warning when it clears SIGCHLD for processes other than the child it
 * created.
 *
 * Arguments:
 *   argc:   the number of elements in argv
 *   argv:   an array of strings containing the command to be executed and its
 *           arguments as separate strings. argv does not need to be
 *           NULL-terminated
 *   status: the equivalent child status as populated by wait(status). This
 *           value is only valid when logwrap successfully completes
 *   ignore_int_quit: set to true if you want to completely ignore SIGINT and
 *           SIGQUIT while logwrap is running. This may force the end-user to
 *           send a signal twice to signal the caller (once for the child, and
 *           once for the caller)
 *
 * Return value:
 *   0 when logwrap successfully run the child process and captured its status
 *   -1 when an internal error occurred
 *
