+Subject: feat: add kNoStartDebugSignalHandler to Environment to prevent
+ SIGUSR1 handling
+
+This patch should be upstreamed, it allows embedders to prevent the call to StartDebugSignalHandler which handles SIGUSR1 and starts the inspector agent.  Apps that have --inspect disabled also don't want SIGUSR1 to have this affect.
