signal: do not trap SIGABRT

SIGABRT is used by the Go runtime to forcefully terminate all goroutines, even if they are in a deadlocked state. It is useful in development (to get a glimpse of any potential race or hang conditions) and in production to forcefully terminate execution when a standard SIGQUIT won't do. This modifies the signal package to _not_ trap SIGABRT and let it be handled in the standard way by the runtime.
