Fix UST SIGPIPE handling

When the consumerd dies (from a SIGKILL), it may close all of its file
descriptors rather abruptly.

We ensured that the UST command threads have all signals blocked, and
they use MSG_NOSIGNAL when sending messages to the sessiond over
sockets.

However, the consumer scheme uses a pipe(2) to transport the "wakeup"
info from the application tracing site to the consumer daemon. It may
send a SIGPIPE to the application in that case, which could kill the
application, an unwanted side-effect.

Block thread SIGPIPE around write() and wait for the signal to fix this.
