exec: Move handling of the point of no return to the top level

Move the handing of the point of no return from search_binary_handler
into __do_execve_file so that it is easier to find, and to keep
things robust in the face of change.

Make it clear that an existing fatal signal will take precedence over
a forced SIGSEGV by not forcing SIGSEGV if a fatal signal is already
pending.  This does not change the behavior but it saves a reader
of the code the tedium of reading and understanding force_sig
and the signal delivery code.

Update the comment in begin_new_exec about where SIGSEGV is forced.

Keep point_of_no_return from being a mystery by documenting
what the code is doing where it forces SIGSEGV if the
code is past the point of no return.
