Shea LevyandEelco Dolstra e87d1a63bd killUser: Don't let the child kill itself on Apple
The kill(2) in Apple's libc follows POSIX semantics, which means that
kill(-1, SIGKILL) will kill the calling process too. Since nix has no
way to distinguish between the process successfully killing everything
and the process being killed by a rogue builder in that case, it can't
safely conclude that killUser was successful.

Luckily, the actual kill syscall takes a parameter that determines
whether POSIX semantics are followed, so we can call that syscall
directly and avoid the issue on Apple.
