Make archiver's SIGQUIT handler exit via _exit().

Commit 8e19a8264 changed the SIGQUIT handlers of almost all server
processes not to run atexit callbacks.  The archiver process was
skipped, perhaps because it's not connected to shared memory; but
it's just as true here that running atexit callbacks in a signal
handler is unsafe.  So let's make it work like the rest.

In HEAD and v13, we can use the common SignalHandlerForCrashExit
handler.  Before that, just tweak pgarch_exit to use _exit(2)
explicitly.

Like the previous commit, back-patch to all supported branches.
