I think we would want to leave SIGTSTP alone; the editor should
typically respect it, and we would want to also pause until we get
SIGCONT (although even if we did continue, we would just be blocking on
wait() for the editor, anyway, so it is not a big deal).

Implicit in my "least surprise" comment above is that handling SIGQUIT
would match what system(3) does, so it makes sense to me to match that
(it also blocks SIGCHLD, but I do not think that really matters from a
user-visible perspective).
