Allow userspace to override the default SIGKILL delivered

Is this really a good idea? This means that there's no way to terminate
a task in this mode, even if it goes astray.

It doesn't map SIGKILL to some other signal unconditionally.  It just allows
the "hey, you broke the STRICT contract and entered the kernel" signal
to be something besides the default SIGKILL.
