[torqueusers] Signalling on multi node jobs.

[Dave Jackson]

Garrick,

  It is a single line change to kill the process group but there was
some discussion against it so this was shelved for the time being.  I
think one issue was if mom signal a process's children, it may prevent
the parent process from cleanly shutting them down using its own custom
method.

  Happy to roll it in or make it a configurable option.

Dave
