The --exec-cmd option specifies a command that will be execvp()-ed on successful
restore. This way the command specified here will become the parent process of
the restored process tree.
Waiting for the restored processes to finish is responsibility of this command.
All service FDs are closed before we call execvp(). Standad output and error of
the command are redirected to the log file when we are restoring through the RPC
service.
This option will be used when restoring LinuX Containers and it seems helpful
for perf or other use cases when restored processes must be supervised by a
parent.
Two directions were researched in order to integrate CRIU and LXC:
1. We tell to CRIU, that after restoring container is should execve()
lxc properly explaining to it that there's a new container hanging
around.
2. We make LXC set himself as child subreaper, then fork() criu and ask
it to detach (-d) from restore container afterwards. Being a subreaper,
it should get the container's init into his child list after it.
The main reason for choosing the first option is that the second one can't work
with the RPC service. If we call restore via the service then criu service will
be the top-most task in the hierarchy and will not be able to reparent the
restore trees to any other task in the system. Calling execve from service
worker sub-task (and daemonizing it) should solve this.

As we've added work_dir_fd to RPC, lets add support for it to libcriu.

These functions are to be used to check criu, dump process and restore process.
