Inspired by 2147fa7e (2014-07-31 git-push: fix link in man page),

send-pack: kill pack-objects helper on signal or exit

We spawn an external pack-objects process to actually send
objects to the remote side. If we are killed by a signal
during this process, the pack-objects will keep running and
complete the push, which may surprise the user. We should
take it down when we go down.
