Someone else should definitely sign off here, but from my reading this seems like a simple and reasonable fix!

Do you think we should add a test where we have a host that has an existing signal handler to make sure that our hooking works as expected? I realise this is not something that is needed because of your change but since we are improving/fixing this area it would be a nice thing to add

setup_signal_handlersis called once per new sandbox (this is needed due to the possibility of different sandboxes using different signal # to cancel executions). This also caused the panic hook to be set unnecessarily for each new sandbox. This PR fixes it by introducing a simpleOnce.I confirmed locally that this fixes the long stacktraces we've been seeing, since it's non-trivial to add a test for it.
Closes #816
