#4952: managed proxies: "[notice] Failed to terminate process with PID '%d'" when
doing Ctrl-c from terminal

I noticed the following in my logs:
{{{
"[notice] Failed to terminate process with PID '%d'"
}}}
while I was testing managed proxies.
This happened because I terminate tor by doing Ctrl-c in a terminal, which
sends a SIGINT to the whole process group (including obfpsroxy). This
kills obfsproxy. Then, when I kill tor with a second Ctrl-c, tor tries to
terminate all the managed proxies which are already dead. This prints the
above line.
Maybe this is not even a bug, but I think it could be a good idea to tone
down the log severity to info, when errno is `ESRCH`.
In any case, we should print the errno string along with the error
message.
