Review request for mesos and Jie Yu.


Changes
-------

Only allow `--exit_status_path` to be set on linux.


Summary (updated)
-----------------

Updated 'launcher' to optionally spawn an 'init' process on linux.


Bugs: MESOS-6088
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6088


Repository: mesos


Description
-------

Previously the 'mesos-containerizer launch' binary would simply exec
into the actual command we wanted to launch after doing some set of
preperatory work. The problem with this approach, however, is that
this gives us no opportunity to checkpoint the exit status of the
command so the agent can recover it in cases where it is offline at
the time the command completes.

To compensate for this, we now allow 'mesos-containerizer launch' to
take an optional '--exit_status_path' parameter, which indicates where
the exit status of our command should be checkpointed. In order to
do this checkpointing, however, we cannot simply exec into the command
anymore. Instead we now fork-exec the command and reap it once it
completes. We then checkpoint its exit status and return it as our
own. We call the original process the 'init' process of the container
and the fork-exec'd process its child.  As a side effect of doing
things this way, we also have to be careful to forward all signals
sent to the init process down to the child.

In a subsequent commit we will update the mesos containerizer to use
this new functionality.
