Centralise handling & ignoring of SIGPIPE in qcore_unix_p.h

We had two instances of this function in the Qt source code, one clearly
a copy of the other, so both had the same thread-safety issue. Instead,
let's have one copy and have both write_nosignal() and sendto() call
them.

Q_NO_POSIX_SIGNALS is also gone. It was only used with Symbian.
