[v9_11] Use SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL to produce cores on failed start

Michal Nowak requested to merge mnowak/use-sigabrt-from-start.pl-v9_11 into v9_11

When the named would hang on startup it would be killed with SIGKILL leaving us with no information about the state the process was in. This commit changes the start.pl script to send SIGABRT instead, so we can properly collect and process the coredump from the hung named process.

(cherry picked from commit 861a2369)

Requested by @ondrej.
