unshare: add --mount-proc for pid namespaces

Based on patch from Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>.

Mike Frysinger wrote:
 When it comes to pid namespaces, it's also useful for /proc to reflect
 the current namespace.  Again, this is easy to pull off, but annoying
 to force everyone to do it themselves.  So let's add a --mount-proc to
 do the magic for us.  The downside is that this also implies creating
 a mount namespace as mounting the new pid namespace /proc over top the
 system one will quickly break all other processes on the system.
