    daemon: Avoid kill -1 bug on the Hurd.
    
    This allows for native builds on the Hurd, doing
    
        sudo ./pre-inst-env guix-daemon --disable-chroot 
--build-users-group=guixbuild &
        ./pre-inst-env guix build hello
    
    * nix/libutil/util.cc (killUser)[__GNU__]: Avoid kill -1 bug; kill only
    current process and ignore SIGKILL status in parent.
