rxvt-unicode (and all children) ignore SIGFPE

My friend just ran across a problem where rxvt-unicode ignores SIGFPE, and
its child processes inherit this state, leading to undefined behavior.
The signal is ignored inside PERL_SYS_INIT3:
https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=114574
This might eventually get fixed in Perl upstream, but it seems dangerous
enough that it’s probably worth adding a workaround in rxvt-unicode.
