Willy Tarreau 26146194d3 BUG/MEDIUM: mworker: do not register an exit handler if exit is expected
The master-worker code registers an exit handler to deal with configuration
issues during reload, leading to a restart of the master process in wait
mode. But it shouldn't do that when it's expected that the program stops
during config parsing or condition checks, as the reload operation is
unexpectedly called and results in abnormal behavior and even crashes:

  $ HAPROXY_MWORKER_REEXEC=1  ./haproxy -W -c -f /dev/null
  Configuration file is valid
  [NOTICE]   (18418) : haproxy version is 2.5-dev2-ee2420-6
  [NOTICE]   (18418) : path to executable is ./haproxy
  [WARNING]  (18418) : config : Reexecuting Master process in waitpid mode
  Segmentation fault

  $ HAPROXY_MWORKER_REEXEC=1 ./haproxy -W -cc 1
  [NOTICE]   (18412) : haproxy version is 2.5-dev2-ee2420-6
  [NOTICE]   (18412) : path to executable is ./haproxy
  [WARNING]  (18412) : config : Reexecuting Master process in waitpid mode
  [WARNING]  (18412) : config : Reexecuting Master process

Note that the presence of this variable happens by accident when haproxy
is called from within its own programs (see issue #1324), but this should
be the object of a separate fix.

This patch fixes this by preventing the atexit registration in such
situations. This should be backported as far as 1.8. MODE_CHECK_CONDITION
has to be dropped for versions prior to 2.5.
