client API: document requirement to block SIGPIPE
I noticed that the IPC code does not use MSG_NOSIGNAL or SO_NOSIGPIPE.
The former is "only" POSIX 2008 and also requires switching to sendto(),
while the latter is even less portable.
Not going to bother with this obsolete 80ies crap, just block SIGPIPE,
and instruct client API users to do the same.
