Its still bad. Here is a wishlist:
* don't continuously restart the sage cleaner during doctests
* make it part of the sage library to get rid of the code duplication for
temporary directories that keeps breaking the cleaner
* in particular, make it doctestable
* Entries in `spawned_processes` are killed by the cleaner and by
`sage.interfaces.quit.expect_quitall()`.
* avoid potential races with PID wrap-around: Sage should announce its
shutdown to the cleaner.
* Ensure (and doctest) that the temp directory with given PID is deleted
before Sage starts. Even if the cleaner doesn't work we must not kill
stuff from old `spawned_process` files.
