By setting the ncurses_builtin_key_parser ui_option to true, we
can disable ncurses parsing of key strokes to get less portable
parsing but support for more complex modifiers.
Probably, the extra «s» at the end of «exist» was added accidentally. A verb after «does not» in Present Simple definitely shouldn't have this extra «s».

Ideally, something better should be done (re #2554) but this is a decent
intermediate step for some useful keys.
Note: NCurses supports parsing these keys when shifted (KEY_SR,
_SLEFT, S_RIGHT, etc), but it does not do the same thing for the other
modifiers.
SIG_IGN is inherited after 'execve' and requires us to reset
that signal handler, which does not work well with vfork on
OSX. Using an empty function does the trick and will be auto
reset to default on exec.

When large buffers have been opened, copying Kakoune's memory
page descriptors can get pretty slow, making fork more expensive
than necessary.
vfork avoids that problem. While not strictly conforming, it seems
the few calls we do before execve (open, close, dup2 and
set_signal_handler) would not cause any problems on platforms we
care about.
