Glib already sets SIGPIPE to ignore when using gsocket and will do the same for gsubprocess from 2.82 as well [1]. As we want to handle all broken pipe errors explicitly, we should do it globally.
We add the call in r_context_conf instead of in main() to catch the relevant tests as well. For the nbd helper (which doesn't use a context), we do it on startup.
