LearnBoost/cluster — Issue #171: SIGKILL handling

I sent SIGKILL to cluster master, which then killed the master process, but left the worker processes running.
From lib/master.js registerSignalHandlers, I found out that cluster handles SIGINT and SIGTERM as hard shutdown, but there's no SIGKILL handling.

Shouldn't SIGKILL be considered a hard shutdown too?
Or is it by design that cluster ignores SIGKILL?
