send-pack: report signal death of pack-objects

If our pack-objects sub-process dies of a signal, then it likely didn't have a chance to write anything useful to stderr. The user may be left scratching their head why the push failed. Let's detect this situation and write something to stderr. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
