Joachim Wiberg 30f2ca3b2e service: log signal name and core dumps in death message
Replace the bare signal number ("by signal: 9") with the symbolic
name ("killed by SIGKILL") and annotate when the kernel wrote a
core:("killed by SIGSEGV, core dumped").  Makes the restart line
self-explanatory and gives operators a strong breadcrumb when a
daemon dies unexpectedly.
