Wraps the standard POSIX `kill()` function for positive process IDs.
`task_kill()` rejects `pid <= 0` and returns `-1`, so callers cannot accidentally use POSIX process-group or broadcast semantics through this helper.
`sig` may be any supported POSIX signal, including values such as `SIGTERM`, `SIGKILL`, `SIGINT`, `SIGUSR1`, `SIGUSR2`, `SIGCHLD`, `SIGCONT`, and related process-control signals.
Passing `0` as the signal performs an existence and permission check without actually delivering a signal.
