Currently, we see runqemu and qemu-system-* processes left behind when
bitbake is killed by buildbot. This is due to the use of setpgrp() in
the runqemu subprocess call.
We need the setpgrp call so that all runqemu processes can easily be
killed (by killing their process group). This presents a problem if this
controlling process itself is killed however since those processes don't
notice the death of the parent and merrily continue on.
Rather than hack runqemu to deal with this, we add something to
qemurunner, at least for now to resolve the issue. Basically we fork off
another process which holds an open pipe to the parent and also is
setpgrp. If/when the pipe sees EOF from the parent dieing, it kills the
process group. This is like pctrl's PDEATHSIG but for a process group
rather than a single process.
