Revert "Warn if forked from the event loop during event_reinit()"

Thinking about this more and realizing that this was a mistake, so should be reverted. In a nut shell I guess most of the apps calls event_reinit() from the loop (see [1] for example), and this should be totally fine (the bit with the signals [2] handled in event_reinit() gracefully) [1]: https://archives.seul.org/libevent/users/Aug-2019/msg00009.html [2]: libevent#833 (comment) This reverts commit 497ef90. Reported-by: [email protected] Backport-to: 2.1
