Summary: Threaded renderer doesn't cleanup child processes

Initial Comment:
The threaded renderer uses the Unix pipe/fork paradigm 
(synfig-core/src/synfig/renderer.cpp, line 402) to distribute the workload over 
multiple processes. However, it does not use the wait() system call to clean up 
(zombie) child processes. Since the threaded renderer can fork a significant 
number of processes, a significant number of zombie processes can be left 
hanging as long as the main synfig process runs. Note: the zombies are 
obviously cleaned up after the main synfig process exits.
