The wait_or_whine function will complain to stderr in a few
cases:

  1. We fail to actually waitpid() correctly.

  2. The child died of a signal.

  3. The child returned exit code 127, indicating a missing
     command to exec after forking.

We already have a silent_exec_failure flag to silence (3).
Let's convert that into a "quiet" flag to also silence (2).

I'm rather negative on controlling these two error reports with the same flag 
because...

Fair enough. We can add an extra flag, then, or just drop both patches
entirely. They are just trying to save the "child process killed"
message when we abort a separate-process async.
