Don't store child that returns ignore in simple supervisor
If a child of a simple_one_for_one returns ignore from its start function no longer store the child for any restart type. It is not possible to restart or delete the child because the supervisor is a simple_one_for_one. Previously a simple_one_for_one would crash, potentially without shutting down all of its children, when it tried to shutdown a child with undefined pid. Previous only one undefined pid child was stored in a simple_one_for_one supervisor no matter how many times the child start function returned ignore.
