timeout: fix race where we might kill arbitrary processes

* src/timeout.c (cleanup): Handle the case where monitored_pid
might be -1, which could happen if a signal was received
immediately after a failed fork() call.  In that case it would
send the termination signal to all processes that the timeout
process has permission to send signals too.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
