[LTP] [PATCH v2] tst_test: using SIGTERM to terminate process

We'd better avoid using SIGINT for process terminating becuasue,
it has different behavoir on kind of shell.

>From Joerg Vehlow's test:

 - bash does not seem to care about SIGINT delivery to background
   processes, but can be blocked using trap

 - zsh ignores SIGINT for background processes by default, but can be
   allowed using trap

 - dash and busybox sh ignore the signal to background processes, and
   this cannot be changed with trap

This patch cover the below situations:

 1. SIGINT (Ctrl^C) for terminating the main process and do cleanup
    correctly before a timeout

 2. Test finish normally and retrieves the _tst_timeout_process in the
    background via SIGTERM(sending by _tst_cleanup_timer)

 3. Test timed out occurs and _tst_kill_test sending SIGTERM to
    terminating all process, and the main process do cleanup work

 4. Test timed out occurs but still have process alive after _tst_kill_test
    sending SIGTERM, then sending SIGKILL to the whole group

 5. Test terminated by SIGTERM unexpectly (e.g. system shutdown or process
    manager) and do cleanup work as well
