unshare: Add --kill-child option.
This allows to conveniently kill the entire process tree
below the forked program, a common problem when scripting
tasks that need to reliably fully terminate without leaving
reparented subprocesses behind.
The example added to the man page shows the most common use.
Implemented using prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, ...).
