Thanks for looking!

Seems reasonable to me; I was unhappy about the lack of any direct
equivalent to the child SIGTERMs that the Unix code does.

Don't much care, I'll change it.

No, because we also want it to work in non-parallel cases. As coded,
we'll establish the handler whenever set_archive_cancel_info is first
called, which will be in the first ConnectDatabase() call. It would
be possible to do that someplace else maybe, but it would require
more code changes than just attaching it to set_archive_cancel_info.

There should never be any non-null result, so that seems like a waste
of code to me.
