Warning about reaped children

[Federico Mena Quintero <federico novell com>]

Hi,

I forgot to pass G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD to g_spawn_async_with_pipes()
and ended up scratching my head about why my GChildWatch callback wasn't
firing.  After some hot strace action and RTFM, I added that flag and
everything worked perfectly.  Do we need a warning like the one in the
attached patch?
