primitive-exit doesn't _exit

I thought that primitive-exit would call _exit(2) instead of exit(3). The reason is basically the same as for not calling scheme unwind handlers: some library may have registered an atexit hook, and you don't want this called in the forked process. I think there needs to be some way to _exit.
