Scott James Remnant 02b51df1b0 proc connector: add event for process becoming session leader
The act of a process becoming a session leader is a useful signal to a
supervising init daemon such as Upstart.

While a daemon will normally do this as part of the process of becoming a
daemon, it is rare for its children to do so.  When the children do, it is
nearly always a sign that the child should be considered detached from the
parent and not supervised along with it.

The poster-child example is OpenSSH; the per-login children call setsid()
so that they may control the pty connected to them.  If the primary daemon
dies or is restarted, we do not want to consider the per-login children
and want to respawn the primary daemon without killing the children.

This patch adds a new PROC_SID_EVENT and associated structure to the
proc_event event_data union, it arranges for this to be emitted when the
special PIDTYPE_SID pid is set.
