restore: Introduce the --restore-sibling option

We have a slight mess with how criu restores root task.
Right now we have the following options.

1) CLI
	a) Usually
	task calling criu
	 `- criu
	     `- root restored task

	b) when --restore-detached AND root has pdeath_sig

	task calling criu
	 `- criu
	 `- root restored task

2) Library/SWRK
	task using lib/swrk
	 `- criu
	 `- root restored task

3) Standalone service
	a) Usually
	service
	 `- service sub task
	     `- root restored task

	b) when root has pdeath_sig
	criu service
	 `- criu sub task
	 `- root restored task

It would be better is CRIU always restored the root task as sibling,
but we have 3 constraints:

First, the case 1.a is kept for zdtm to run tests in pid namespaces
on 3.11, which in turn doesn't allow CLONE_PARENT | CLONE_NEWPID.

Second, CLI w/o --restore-detach waits for the restored task to die and
this behavior can be "expected" already.

Third, in case of standalone service tasks shouldn't become service's
children.

And I have one "plan". The p.haul project while live migrating tasks
on destination node starts a service, which uses library/swrk mode. In
this case the restored processes become p.haul service's kids which is
also not great.

That said, here's the option called --restore-child that pairs the
--restore-detach like this:

* detached AND child:

task
 `- criu restore (exits at the end)
 `- root task

The root task will become task's child.
This will be default to library/swrk.
This is what LXC needs.

* detach AND !child

task
 `- criu restore (exits at the end)
     `- root task

The root task will get re-parented to init.
This will be compatible with 1.3.
This will be default to standalone service and
to my wish with the p.haul case.

* !detach AND child

task
 `- criu restore (waits for root task to die)
 `- root task

This should be deprecated, so that criu restore doesn't mess
 with task <-> root task signalling.

* !detach AND !child

task
 `- criu restore (waits for root task to die)
     `- root task

This is how plain criu restore works now.
